Ukkima, Stalking Shadow  Flip Mirror Mockery and static pump

Asked by Swebb87 1 year ago

Hi if I have Ukkima, Stalking Shadow as my commander and cast Mirror Mockery enchanting Ukkima with some form of static pump effect on the battlefield, for instance Ana Sanctuary. When the second instance of Ukkima etc and the game checks SBAs, thus forcing me to put one of them into the graveyard. Do I get the leave the battlefield trigger from the one I have to let die? And if so, do I get it with increased power that is given by ana sanctuary? So would deal more damage and gain more life?

You do get the leaves the battlefield effect on the one you let die.

Copy effect only copy the base thing that it is copying, so the copy won’t have any buffs on it, and so won’t be benefitted from Ana Sanctuary.

If a creature leaves the battlefield while being buffed from something like Ana Sanctuary, that will count towards its power for determining its “leave the battlefield” abilities.

Thanks, what if it's a constant buff as opposed to ana sanctuary (which is on attacks). Thanks

Ana Sanctuary is on upkeep to one creature, you may be thinking of a different card.

If you have an anthem effect (Glorious Anthem or the like) the copy Ukkima, Stalking Shadow will be a 3/3 when it dies and will deal 3 damage from its trigger. Anthems have static abilities that apply at all times. There is never a time that a permanent is on the battlefield that it is not being affected by static abilities.
