Rulings

  • 2025-10-02 · Wizards of the Coast
    Firebending abilities aren't mana abilities. They use the stack and can be responded to.
  • 2025-10-02 · Wizards of the Coast
    Multiple instances of firebending on the same creature trigger separately, each granting you the appropriate amount of mana.
  • 2025-10-02 · Wizards of the Coast
    Mana from firebending abilities isn't lost until you leave combat and go to your second main phase. It can be used at any time during combat, even after combat damage has been dealt.
  • 2025-10-02 · Wizards of the Coast
    "Firebending N" is a keyword that represents the ability "Whenever this creature attacks, add N {R}. Until end of combat, you don't lose this mana as steps end."
  • 2025-10-02 · Wizards of the Coast
    Any other mana you add during combat will still be lost as normal when moving between steps of combat.
