Official rulings
The 8 most recent official rulings for Erebos, Bleak-Hearted, newest first.
- Erebos’s last ability can target the creature you’ll sacrifice to pay its cost. In this case, the ability won’t resolve, but Erebos’s triggered ability will trigger.
- Counters put on a God remain on it while it’s not a creature, even if they have no effect.
- If one or more creatures you control die at the same time as Erebos, its triggered ability triggers for each of those creatures.
- Mana symbols in the text boxes of permanents you control don’t count toward your devotion to any color.
- If an effect causes a God to lose all abilities, its ability that causes it to stop being a creature still applies if appropriate.
- When a God enters the battlefield, your devotion to its color (including the mana symbols in the mana cost of the God itself) will determine if a creature entered the battlefield or not for abilities that trigger whenever a creature enters the battlefield.
- As a God enters the battlefield, your devotion to its color will determine whether any replacement effects that affect creatures entering the battlefield apply to that God. Because replacement effects are considered before the God is on the battlefield, the mana symbols in its mana cost won’t be counted when determining this.
- 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.
