Rulings (2)
- Great Sable Stag can be targeted by spells that try to counter it (such as Cancel). Those spells will resolve, but the part of their effect that would counter Great Sable Stag won’t do anything. Any other effects those spells have will work as normal.
- Although the reminder text doesn’t say so, Great Sable Stag also can’t be equipped by blue or black Equipment.
