Official rulings

Four official rulings apply to Akki Battle Squad, newest first.

  • An Aura controlled by an opponent does not cause a creature you control to be modified.
  • A creature that is equipped is considered modified no matter who controls the Equipment that's attached to it.
  • A creature with a counter on it is considered modified no matter what kind of counter it is or which player put it on that creature.
  • Notably, the triggered ability of Akki Battle Squad doesn't give you any additional main phases. This means that you will move directly from the end of combat step of one combat phase to the beginning of combat step of the next one.
