  • WotCOct 13, 2023

    Abilities that trigger when a creature becomes tapped won't trigger when a creature phases in tapped. (This might happen if the creature in question has one or more stun counters on it.)

  • WotCOct 13, 2023

    Any continuous effects with a "for as long as" duration ignore phased-out objects. Any such effects will expire if their conditions are no longer met after ignoring the phased-out objects.

  • WotCOct 13, 2023

    Any one-shot effects that are waiting "until [this] leaves the battlefield," won't happen when a permanent phases out.

  • WotCOct 13, 2023

    Choices made for permanents as they entered the battlefield are remembered when they phase in.

  • WotCOct 13, 2023

    Each Aura and Equipment attached to a permanent that's phasing out also phases out. They will phase in with that permanent and still be attached to it. Similarly, permanents that phase out with counters phase in with those counters.

  • WotCOct 13, 2023

    Phasing out doesn't cause any "leaves the battlefield" abilities to trigger. Similarly, phasing in won't cause any "enters the battlefield" abilities to trigger.

  • WotCOct 13, 2023

    While a permanent is phased out, it's treated as though it doesn't exist. It can't be the target of spells or abilities, its static abilities have no effect on the game, its triggered abilities can't trigger, it can't attack or block, and so on.
