Guardians of Akrasa Rulings

  • Oct 1, 2008

    Exalted abilities will resolve before blockers are declared.

  • Oct 1, 2008

    Exalted bonuses last until end of turn. If an effect creates an additional combat phase during your turn, a creature that attacked alone during the first combat phase will still have its exalted bonuses in that new phase. If a creature attacks alone during the second combat phase, all your exalted abilities will trigger again.

  • Oct 1, 2008

    If you attack with multiple creatures, but then all but one are removed from combat, your exalted abilities won’t trigger.

  • Oct 1, 2008

    If you declare exactly one creature as an attacker, each exalted ability on each permanent you control (including, perhaps, the attacking creature itself) will trigger. The bonuses are given to the attacking creature, not to the permanent with exalted. Ultimately, the attacking creature will wind up with +1/+1 for each of your exalted abilities.

  • Oct 1, 2008

    In a Two-Headed Giant game, a creature “attacks alone” if it’s the only creature declared as an attacker by your entire team. If you control that attacking creature, your exalted abilities will trigger but your teammate’s exalted abilities won’t.
