The Wretched Rulings
- Oct 1, 2009
If The Wretched leaves the battlefield, you no longer control it, so the duration of its control-change effect ends.
- Oct 1, 2009
If you lose control of The Wretched before its ability resolves, you won’t gain control of the creatures blocking it at all.
- Oct 1, 2009
Once the ability resolves, it doesn’t care whether the permanents you gained control of remain creatures, only that they remain on the battlefield.
- Oct 1, 2009
The Wretched’s ability triggers only if it’s still on the battlefield when the end of combat step begins (after the combat damage step). For example, if it’s blocked by a 7/7 creature and is destroyed, its ability won’t trigger at all.
- May 1, 2009
Any blocking creatures that regenerated during combat will have been removed from combat. Since such creatures are no longer in combat, they cannot be blocking The Wretched, which means you won’t be able to gain control of them.
