ARV: Using Nazgûl to access sideboard
Posted: Sun Oct 23, 2022 1:42 pm
I propose the following erratum:CRF, Rulings by Term, Sideboard wrote:Tapping a Nazgûl to bring cards in from the sideboard does not turn the Nazgûl into a
short-event. It is discarded immediately upon declaration.
"Tapping a Nazgûl to bring cards in from the sideboard does not turn the Nazgûl into a short-event. It is discarded immediately upon declaration. Tapping and discarding a Nazgûl to bring cards in from the sideboard is special case where Annotation 5 does not apply. A Nazgûl does not need to be in play and tapped when it comes to resolve the action in its chain of effects."
Changes in bold.
Rationale:
Without the changes an action of tap and discard to access SB would be self-fizzling. Or regulations made by Annotation 5 would be violated/ignored.Annotation 5: If an action requires an entity to tap as a condition for the action's main
effect, that entity must be untapped when the action is declared; else, the action may
not be declared. Tap the entity at this point; this is considered synonymous with the
action's declaration, i.e., it is not a separate action. When it comes time to resolve the
action in its chain of effects, that entity must still be in play and tapped or the action is
canceled.
