Slaying Mantis Rulings

  • Feb 29, 2020

    If Slaying Mantis lands on multiple creatures, it fights each of them one-on-one. For example, Slaying Mantis lands on a 3/3, a 4/4, and a 5/5. Slaying Mantis deals 6 damage to each of them, destroying them all. At the same time, they deal a total of 12 damage to Slaying Mantis, destroying it. What a maneuver!

  • Feb 29, 2020

    If Slaying Mantis touches the object used to represent a creature token an opponent controls, it will fight that creature.

  • Feb 29, 2020

    If you create a token that's a copy of Slaying Mantis, it also enters via flying elbow. However, you must use a Magic card-sized object to represent the token. As Slaying Mantis's just a second ability won't apply, players can move around their permanents at any time, including while Slaying Mantis is in flight. So that's fun.

  • Feb 29, 2020

    Just a second is a variant of split second. Announcing Slaying Mantis instantly locks all permanents in place on the battlefield. As long as Slaying Mantis is on the stack, players can't cast spells, activate abilities, or move their permanents.

  • Feb 29, 2020

    No player may interfere with the throwing of Slaying Mantis, including while it's in flight.
