Hydra Trainer Rulings
5 most recent
- Jun 7, 2024 If a creature somehow loses all of its +1/+1 counters, it can adapt again and get more +1/+1 counters.
- Jun 7, 2024 If an exerted permanent is already untapped during your next untap step (most likely because an effect untapped it), exert's effect preventing it from untapping expires without having done anything.
- Jun 7, 2024 If you gain control of another player's permanent until end of turn and exert it, and then that player regains control of it, it will untap during that player's untap step.
- Jun 7, 2024 The value of X is determined only once, as the reflexive triggered ability resolves.
- Jun 7, 2024 You can always activate an ability that will cause a creature to adapt. As that ability resolves, if the creature has a +1/+1 counter on it for any reason, you simply won't put any +1/+1 counters on it.
