Rulings
  • WotCAug 1, 2008

    A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its {T} abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn’t matter how long the permanent has been a creature.

  • WotCJul 15, 2006

    Balduvian Frostwaker’s effect has no duration. The snow land is a creature as long as it’s on the battlefield.

  • WotCJul 15, 2006

    If an affected land later loses the supertype snow, Balduvian Frostwaker’s effect doesn’t end. The land will remain a creature.
