Official rulings

One official ruling applies to Lathril, Blade of the Elves.

  • You can tap any ten untapped Elves you control, including ones you haven't controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn, to pay that part of the cost of Lathril's activated ability. You must have controlled Lathril continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn, however. Lathril doesn't count as one of the ten.
