Tavern Ruffian // Tavern Smasher Rulings

  • Sep 24, 2021

    Before a player untaps their permanents during the untap step, the game checks to see if the day/night designation should change.

  • Sep 24, 2021

    Day and night are designations that the game itself can have. The game starts as neither. Once the game becomes day (or less commonly, night), the game will be exactly one of them—day or night—going back and forth for the rest of the game.

  • Sep 24, 2021

    Double-faced permanents with daybound transform to their nightbound faces as it becomes night. Similarly, double-faced permanents with nightbound transform to their daybound faces as it becomes day. This happens immediately and is not a state-based action. It happens any time it becomes day or night, not just during the untap step.

  • Sep 24, 2021

    If it is day, and the active player of the previous turn cast no spells during their turn, it becomes night.

  • Sep 24, 2021

    If it is night, and the active player of the previous turn cast two or more spells during their turn, it becomes day.
