Nemesis Trap Rulings

5 most recent
  • Mar 1, 2010 An "attacking creature" is one that has been declared as an attacker this combat, or one that was put onto the battlefield attacking this combat. Unless that creature leaves combat, it continues to be an attacking creature through the end of combat step, even if the player it was attacking has left the game, or the planeswalker it was attacking has left combat.
  • Mar 1, 2010 Any "enters" abilities of the exiled creature will trigger when the token is put onto the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the chosen creature will also work.
  • Mar 1, 2010 If the exiled creature has {X} in its mana cost (such as Protean Hydra), X is considered to be zero.
  • Mar 1, 2010 If the exiled creature was a token, your token copies the original characteristics of that token as stated by the effect that put it onto the battlefield.
  • Mar 1, 2010 If the exiled creature was copying something else (for example, if it was a Jwari Shapeshifter), then your token enters as a copy of whatever the exiled creature was copying.
