Official rulings
The 8 most recent official rulings for Daxos, Blessed by the Sun, newest first.
- If you control a battle and an opponent is its protector, you still control the battle, and mana symbols in its mana cost count toward your devotion.
- The ability that defines Daxos's toughness works in all zones, not just the battlefield.
- Hybrid mana symbols, monocolored hybrid mana symbols, and Phyrexian mana symbols do count toward your devotion to their color(s).
- Mana symbols in the text boxes of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
- If another creature you control enters the battlefield at the same time as Daxos, you gain 1 life for that creature. Similarly, if another creature you control dies at the same time as Daxos, you gain 1 life for that creature. However, in the unusual case that Daxos dies at the same time that another creature enters the battlefield or vice versa, you won't gain 1 life for that creature.
- If you put an Aura on an opponent's permanent, you still control the Aura, and mana symbols in its mana cost count towards your devotion.
- Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to Daxos may become lethal if your devotion to white decreases during that turn.
- Colorless and generic mana symbols ({C}, {0}, {1}, {2}, {X}, and so on) in mana costs of permanents you control don't count toward your devotion to any color.
