wotc24 Sept 2021
If it's neither day nor night, and a creature with daybound and a creature with nightbound somehow appear on the battlefield at the same time, it becomes day. The creature with nightbound will transform.
wotc24 Sept 2021
If you cast a spell with daybound during night, that spell will be front face up (that is, daybound face up) on the stack. However, it will enter the battlefield with its back face up (that is, with its nightbound face up). It won't enter with its daybound face up and then transform.
wotc24 Sept 2021
After Curse of Leeches transforms into Leeching Lurker, it will become unattached from the player it's attached to as a state-based action.
wotc24 Sept 2021
Double-faced permanents with daybound transform to their nightbound faces as it becomes night. Similarly, double-faced permanents with nightbound transform to their daybound faces as it becomes day. This happens immediately and is not a state-based action. It happens any time it becomes day or night, not just during the untap step.
wotc24 Sept 2021
If it is night, and the active player of the previous turn cast two or more spells during their turn, it becomes day.
wotc24 Sept 2021
Before a player untaps their permanents during the untap step, the game checks to see if the day/night designation should change.
