Official rulings

One official ruling applies to Phenomenon Investigators.

  • If you somehow control Phenomenon Investigators and no choice was made for it (perhaps because another permanent on the battlefield became a copy of it, or it was manifested and later turned face up), it has neither of the two triggered abilities, no matter how much you want to believe (or doubt).
