Guardian of the Forgotten Rulings
5 most recent
- Jun 7, 2024 A creature that is equipped is considered modified no matter who controls the Equipment that's attached to it.
- Jun 7, 2024 A creature with a counter on it is considered modified no matter what kind of counter it is or which player put it on that creature.
- Jun 7, 2024 A permanent that turns face up or face down changes characteristics but is otherwise the same permanent. Spells and abilities that were targeting that permanent and Auras and Equipment that were attached to that permanent aren't affected unless the new characteristics of the object change the legality of those targets or attachments.
- Jun 7, 2024 An Aura controlled by another player does not cause a creature you control to be modified.
- Jun 7, 2024 Any time you have priority, you may turn a manifested creature face up by revealing that it's a creature card (ignoring any copy effects or type-changing effects that might be applying to it) and paying its mana cost. This is a special action. It doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to.
