    As Press into Service resolves, if at least one of its targets is still legal, it will resolve, affecting only targets that are still legal at that time. If none of its targets are still legal at that time, it won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen.

  • WotCJan 22, 2016

    Gaining control of a creature doesn’t cause you to gain control of any Auras or Equipment attached to it.

  • WotCJan 22, 2016

    If a spell with support has other abilities that target creatures, those abilities and the support ability can target the same creature.

  • WotCJan 22, 2016

    Support can target a creature you don’t control.

  • WotCJan 22, 2016
