    Mesmerizing Benthid has hexproof as long as you control any Illusion, not just Illusion tokens like the ones created by its first ability.

  • WotCJan 25, 2019

    The triggered ability of the Illusion tokens doesn't tap the attacking creature if it's untapped, most likely because it has vigilance.
