Official rulings

Two official rulings apply to Skycat Sovereign, newest first.

  • Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to Skycat Sovereign may become lethal if other creatures with flying you control leave the battlefield during that turn.
  • Skycat Sovereign's first ability applies only while it's on the battlefield.
