Abilities that trigger when a creature becomes tapped won't trigger when a creature phases in tapped. (This might happen if the creature in question has one or more stun counters on it.)
wotc13 Oct 2023
Any one-shot effects that are waiting "until [this] leaves the battlefield," won't happen when a permanent phases out.
wotc13 Oct 2023
Choices made for permanents as they entered the battlefield are remembered when they phase in.
wotc13 Oct 2023
Phasing out doesn't cause any "leaves the battlefield" abilities to trigger. Similarly, phasing in won't cause any "enters the battlefield" abilities to trigger.
wotc13 Oct 2023
Each Aura and Equipment attached to a permanent that's phasing out also phases out. They will phase in with that permanent and still be attached to it. Similarly, permanents that phase out with counters phase in with those counters.
wotc13 Oct 2023
While a permanent is phased out, it's treated as though it doesn't exist. It can't be the target of spells or abilities, its static abilities have no effect on the game, its triggered abilities can't trigger, it can't attack or block, and so on.
