When Akroan Horse enters the battlefield, an opponent gains control of it. At the beginning of your upkeep, each opponent creates a 1/1 white Soldier creature token.
Is creating a token An ETB?
Yes. Creating a token is that token entering the Battlefield. It will trigger appropriate abilities.
Do tokens enter the graveyard?
A: Tokens go to the graveyard as regular creatures, and are removed as a “state-based effect” when a player gets priority again. They stay in the graveyard long enough to trigger abilities, like the one of Soulcatchers’ Aerie, before they are removed.
Is put onto the battlefield casting?
For nonland cards “play” and “cast” are equivalent; the main difference between the terms is that you play lands but do not cast them. However “putting a permanent onto the battlefield” is not equivalent to either of those things, so Recycle doesn’t trigger.
How does Kaladesh work in Magic The Gathering?
Happy reading! Starting with Kaladesh, you’re going to see a new rules term on cards: create. This new bit of templating is a new way to say “put a token onto the battlefield.” This isn’t a functional change in any way. The tokens still enter the battlefield like they always did.
How does Kaladesh turn a vehicle into an artifact?
Each Vehicle starts out as just an artifact. Well, an artifact with some potential. But they won’t just get up and attack your opponent by themselves. Not even Kaladesh has mastered the self-driving car yet. Each Vehicle has a crew ability that turns it into an artifact creature.
How does the crew ability work in Kaladesh?
Each Vehicle has a crew ability that turns it into an artifact creature. To activate the crew ability, tap any number of creatures you control with total power equal to or greater than the crew number. Because the crew ability doesn’t use the tap symbol, you can tap any untapped creature you control, even one that just entered the battlefield.
