Sylvan Advocate Rulings

2 most recent
  • Jan 22, 2016 A “land creature” is a permanent that’s both a land and a creature.
  • Jan 22, 2016 Damage remains marked on creatures until the turn ends. If Sylvan Advocate’s ability stops applying (because Sylvan Advocate leaves the battlefield or you no longer control six or more lands), then any land creatures that needed the toughness bonus to stay alive will be destroyed.
