TYPE
Battle — Siege

ABILITY
(As a Siege enters, choose an opponent to protect it. You and others can attack it. When it's defeated, exile it, then cast it transformed.) When this Siege enters, reveal any number of Dragon cards from your hand. When you do, this Siege deals X plus 2 damage to any other target, where X is the number of cards revealed this way. (X can be 0.)

RULINGS
  • 2023-04-14 Invasion of Tarkir’s enters-the-battlefield ability triggers and goes on the stack without a target. As it resolves, you’ll reveal any number of Dragon cards from your hand. As the card reminds you, that number can be zero. Then the second “reflexive” triggered ability will trigger. You’ll choose the target for that second ability at that time.
  • 2023-04-14 As a Siege enters the battlefield, its controller chooses an opponent to be its protector.
  • 2023-04-14 If a Siege never had defense counters on it (perhaps because a permanent became a copy of one), it can’t have its last defense counter removed. It will be put into its owner’s graveyard. You won’t exile it or cast the other face.
  • 2023-04-14 Damage dealt to a battle causes that many defense counters to be removed from it.
  • 2023-04-14 A Siege’s controller can’t be its protector. If a Siege’s protector ever gains control of it, they choose a new player to be its protector. This is a state-based action.
  • 2023-04-14 If a permanent that is represented by a transforming double-faced card becomes a copy of a Siege, it will be exiled as that Siege’s triggered ability resolves, then it will be cast transformed. Note that this applies only to transforming double-faced cards, not to modal double-faced cards that can normally be played using either face.
  • 2023-04-14 Only creatures controlled by a battle’s protector can block creatures that are attacking that battle. This means a Siege’s controller can never assign creatures to block for it.
  • 2023-04-14 If a battle that’s being attacked somehow stops being a battle, it is removed from combat. Similarly, if its controller changes in the middle of combat, it is removed from combat.
  • 2023-04-14 If a battle has no defense counters, and it isn’t the source of a triggered ability that has triggered but not yet left the stack, that battle is put into its owner’s graveyard. This is a state-based action. This doesn’t cause a Siege’s intrinsic triggered ability to trigger.
  • 2023-04-14 If a non-battle permanent that is already on the battlefield become a copy of a Siege, its controller chooses one of their opponents to be that battle’s protector. However, it will most likely be put into its owner’s graveyard because it has no defense counters (see below).
  • 2023-04-14 A battle’s “defense” is displayed in the bottom right corner of the card. A battle enters the battlefield with that number of defense counters. If another permanent enters the battlefield as a copy of a battle, it also enters with that number of defense counters.
  • 2023-04-14 If you don’t reveal any Dragon cards from your hand, the reflexive triggered ability will cause Invasion of Tarkir to deal 2 damage to the target of the ability.
  • 2023-04-14 If a token or a card that isn’t represented by a transforming double-faced card becomes a copy of a Siege, it can’t be cast as its triggered ability resolves. It will remain in exile. If it’s a token, it will cease to exist the next time state-based actions are performed.
  • 2023-04-14 Battles can’t attack or block, even if one also becomes a creature. If an attacking or blocking creature somehow becomes a battle in addition to being a creature, it is removed from combat.
  • 2023-04-14 A battle can be dealt damage and be target of spells and/or abilities that target “any target.”
  • 2023-04-14 A battle can be attacked by all players other than its protector. Notably, this means a Siege’s controller can attack it.
  • 2023-04-14 Sieges each have an intrinsic triggered ability. That ability is “When the last defense counter is removed from this permanent, exile it, then you may cast it transformed without paying its mana cost.”
  • 2023-04-14 In a multiplayer game, if the protector of a battle leaves the game and that battle is not currently being attacked, its controller chooses a new protector for it as a state-based action. If it is being attacked, its controller chooses a new protector for it once no creatures are attacking it. This means that it continues to be attacked and can be dealt combat damage as normal.
TYPE
Creature — Dragon

ABILITY
Flying, trample Whenever a Dragon you control attacks, it deals 2 damage to any target.
