Official Rulings

  • Spartasaur’s ability and Gebuk’s ability resolve in the same timing window, the “after a creature is destroyed” window. However, Spartasaur is not in play at the time Gebuk leaves play, and therefore Spartasaur’s ability will not resolve due to Gebuk being destroyed.

I have Gebuk (WC 373) in my battleline. On my opponent’s turn, Gebuk is destroyed. Gebuk’s “Destroyed:” ability is resolved and I discard Spartasaur (WC 231), a creature. Are “After Gebuk Leaves Play” and “After a friendly creature is destroyed” in the same window of the Timing Chart? If so, does Spartasaur’s ability resolve when Gebuk leaves play or can the active player order it so that Spartasaur’s ability will not resolve?

Commentary

When Gebuk's ability “puts” a creature “into play,” the creature enters play exhausted, and Play: abilities and Bonus icons on the card do not resolve.

With the exception of draw, if an ability references the top card of the deck and the deck is empty, the discard pile is not shuffled to form a new deck.
