Rulings

  • The X in the unveiling triggered ability has the same value as the X paid in the Unveil ability. This is pretty easy to derive since there is no other source of X.
  • Once The Depths Caller’s unveiling triggered ability begins to resolve, no players may take other actions until it’s done. Notably, players can’t try to destroy your permanents after you’ve chosen a type.
  • If a card in a player’s library has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.
  • You can tap any untapped creature you control, even one you haven’t controlled continuously since the beginning of your most recent turn.
  • Tapping an untapped creature that’s attacking or blocking won’t cause that creature to stop attacking or blocking.
  • Tapping an artifact won’t cause its abilities to stop applying unless those abilities say so.
  • Equipment attached to a creature doesn’t become tapped when that creature becomes tapped, and tapping that Equipment doesn’t cause the creature to become tapped.
