Official rulings

The 8 most recent official rulings for Invasion of Fiora // Marchesa, Resolute Monarch, newest first.

  • A battle can be attacked by all players other than its protector. Notably, this means a Siege’s controller can attack it.
  • A battle can be dealt damage and be target of spells and/or abilities that target “any target.”
  • A battle’s “defense” is displayed in the bottom right corner of the card. A battle enters the battlefield with that number of defense counters. If another permanent enters the battlefield as a copy of a battle, it also enters with that number of defense counters.
  • As a Siege enters the battlefield, its controller chooses an opponent to be its protector.
  • Battles can’t attack or block, even if one also becomes a creature. If an attacking or blocking creature somehow becomes a battle in addition to being a creature, it is removed from combat.
  • Damage dealt to a battle causes that many defense counters to be removed from it.
  • If a Siege never had defense counters on it (perhaps because a permanent became a copy of one), it can’t have its last defense counter removed. It will be put into its owner’s graveyard. You won’t exile it or cast the other face.
  • A Siege’s controller can’t be its protector. If a Siege’s protector ever gains control of it, they choose a new player to be its protector. This is a state-based action.
