Valgavoth's Onslaught

Sep 20, 2024 · Unlike a face-down creature that was cast using a disguise or morph ability, a manifested creature may still be turned face up after it loses its abilities if it's a creature card.

Sep 20, 2024 · If something tries to turn a face-down instant or sorcery card on the battlefield face up, reveal that card to show all players it's an instant or sorcery card. The permanent remains on the battlefield face down. Abilities that trigger when a permanent turns face up won't trigger, because even though you revealed the card, it never turned face up.

Sep 20, 2024 · Because the permanent is on the battlefield both before and after it's turned face up, turning a permanent face up doesn't cause any enters-the-battlefield abilities to trigger.

Sep 20, 2024 · At any time, you can look at a face-down spell or permanent you control. You can't look at face-down permanents or spells you don't control unless an effect instructs or allows you to do so.

Sep 20, 2024 · If your library contains only one card when you manifest dread, you'll look at that card and put it onto the battlefield face down. You won't have the option to put it into your graveyard instead. If your library contains no cards when you manifest dread, you won't do anything.

Sep 20, 2024 · You must ensure that your face-down spells and permanents can be easily differentiated from each other. You're not allowed to mix up the cards that represent them on the battlefield to confuse other players. The order in which they entered should remain clear, as well as what ability caused them to be face down. (This includes manifest, disguise, cloak, morph, and a few older effects that turn cards face down.) Common methods for doing this include using markers or dice, or simply placing them in order on the battlefield.

Sep 20, 2024 · Because face-down creatures don't have a name, they can't have the same name as any other creature, even another face-down creature.

Sep 20, 2024 · If a double-faced card is manifested, it will be put onto the battlefield face down. While face down, it can't transform. If the front face of the card is a creature card, you can turn it face up by paying its mana cost. If you do, its front face will be up.

Sep 20, 2024 · If an effect instructs a player to manifest multiple cards from their library, those cards are manifested one at a time. Players can't take actions in between. However, an ability that triggers "Whenever one or more creatures enter" would trigger once for each event.

Sep 20, 2024 · Turning a permanent face up or face down doesn't change whether that permanent is tapped or untapped.

Sep 20, 2024 · Players can't take actions in between the time you manifest dread X times and the time you put +1/+1 counters on them. Notably, they can't try to remove the face-down creatures before counters are placed on them.

Sep 20, 2024 · Some cards in the Duskmourn release have abilities that trigger "whenever you manifest dread." In circumstances where you are instructed to manifest dread but can't perform some or all of the steps of manifesting dread (probably because your library has one or fewer cards in it), these abilities will still trigger.
