Nettlecyst Rulings

  • Jun 18, 2021

    If a permanent you control is both an artifact and an enchantment, count it only once when determining the bonus from an equipped Nettlecyst.

  • Jun 18, 2021

    If the Phyrexian Germ token is destroyed, the Equipment remains on the battlefield as with any other Equipment.

  • Jun 18, 2021

    If the living weapon trigger causes two Phyrexian Germs to be created (due to an effect such as that of Doubling Season), the Equipment becomes attached to one of them. The other will be put into your graveyard and subsequently cease to exist, unless another effect raises its toughness above 0.

  • Jun 18, 2021

    Like other Equipment, each Equipment with living weapon has an equip cost. You can pay this cost to attach an Equipment to another creature you control. Once the Phyrexian Germ token is no longer equipped, it will be put into your graveyard and subsequently cease to exist, unless another effect raises its toughness above 0.

  • Jun 18, 2021

    The Phyrexian Germ token enters the battlefield as a 0/0 creature and the Equipment becomes attached to it before state-based actions would cause the token to die. Abilities that trigger as the token enters the battlefield see that a 0/0 creature entered the battlefield.
