Official rulings
The 8 most recent official rulings for Invasion of New Phyrexia // Teferi Akosa of Zhalfir, newest first.
- As a Siege enters the battlefield, its controller chooses an opponent to be its protector.
- Sieges each have an intrinsic triggered ability. That ability is “When the last defense counter is removed from this permanent, exile it, then you may cast it transformed without paying its mana cost.”
- 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.
- In a multiplayer game, if the protector of a battle leaves the game and that battle is not currently being attacked, its controller chooses a new protector for it as a state-based action. If it is being attacked, its controller chooses a new protector for it once no creatures are attacking it. This means that it continues to be attacked and can be dealt combat damage as normal.
- A battle can be attacked by all players other than its protector. Notably, this means a Siege’s controller can attack it.
- You activate Teferi Akosa’s last ability without choosing a target or tapping any creatures. As it resolves, you choose which untapped creatures you control to tap, if any. If you don’t tap any creatures (including if you don’t control any), X is 0. After you tap creatures or not, the reflexive triggered ability triggers. You choose the target for that ability as it’s put on the stack.
- 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.
