Tectonic Giant Rulings

  • Jan 24, 2020

    An ability that triggers when a creature becomes the target of a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.

  • Jan 24, 2020

    If a spell targets Tectonic Giant more than once, its ability triggers only once.

  • Jan 24, 2020

    If you don't play the exiled card that you chose, it remains in exile with the card you didn't choose.

  • Jan 24, 2020

    Players can cast spells and activate abilities after the triggered ability resolves but before the spell that caused it to trigger does.

  • Jan 24, 2020

    Playing an exiled card causes it to leave exile. You can't play it multiple times.
