12/12

Rulings (5)
  • Phasing in does not trigger "enters" abilities, so you don't have to sacrifice again if it phases in.
  • The sacrifices are simultaneous, not one at a time.
  • If the Dreadnought is no longer on the battlefield when the triggered ability resolves, you may still choose either option.
  • Reverted to its original wording, this now has an "enters" triggered ability. During resolution of the triggered ability, you choose one option or the other.
  • If you are unable to sacrifice 12 power worth of creatures, then you cannot choose that option; in that case, you must sacrifice Phyrexian Dreadnought.
