Putting a land card onto the battlefield with Michelangelo's last ability doesn't count as playing a land. You can put a land card onto the battlefield this way even if you've already played a land for the turn. - 2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast
Spells can only be cast for their sneak costs any time you could play an instant during the declare blockers step on your turn (after your opponent has decided whether to block). - 2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast
Although a creature put onto the battlefield this way is attacking, it was never declared as an attacking creature. Abilities that trigger whenever a creature attacks won't trigger when that creature enters attacking. - 2026-01-27 · Wizards of the Coast
If a creature spell's sneak cost was paid, the creature it becomes enters tapped and attacking the same player, planeswalker, or battle as the creature that was returned to its owner's hand to pay its sneak cost. This is a rule specific to sneak; in other cases, when a creature is put onto the battlefield attacking, that creature's controller chooses which player, planeswalker, or battle it's attacking.
