Rulings
6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2023-11-10
If another effect causes one of the returned permanents to become a creature and sets its base power and toughness as it does so, that creature will have that power and toughness; it won't be 1/1. Notably, crewing a Vehicle does not set its power and toughness, so a Vehicle will remain a 1/1 if you crew it.
- 2023-11-10
An Equipment that's also a creature can't be attached to anything. You can activate its equip ability, but it won't become attached.
- 2023-11-10
