Official rulings
The 8 most recent official rulings for Goldbug, Humanity's Ally // Goldbug, Scrappy Scout, newest first.
- If Goldbug, Humanity's Ally dies before combat damage is dealt to attacking Humans, the damage won't be prevented. For example, this can occur if Goldbug is blocked by a creature with first strike.
- The convert keyword action functions the same way as the transform keyword action found on some other cards; to convert a permanent on the battlefield, turn it over so that its other face is up.
- The cost is an alternative cost, so it can't be combined with any other alternative costs. It can be combined with any applicable additional costs.
- A spell cast this way enters the battlefield with its back face up.
- If you copy a permanent spell cast this way, the copy has the characteristics of the card's back face, even though it isn't itself a double-faced card.
- To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a More Than Meets the Eye cost) you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of a spell cast using More Than Meets the Eye is determined by the mana cost on the front face of the card, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
- The mana value of a converted permanent on the battlefield is equal to the mana value of the card's front face, no matter which face is up.
- While it's a creature, the Vehicle has its printed power and toughness.
