Gaining control of an attacker/blocker

Asked by Exodus20317 9 years ago

What happens if you gain control of a creature (say via Turn Against) that is attacking you or blocking a creature you control? Does the change in control remove it from combat, or are you still getting smacked in the face, just by a creature you control?

506.4. A permanent is removed from combat if it leaves the battlefield, if its controller changes, if it phases out, if an effect specifically removes it from combat, if it's a planeswalker that's being attacked and stops being a planeswalker, or if it's an attacking or blocking creature that regenerates (see rule 701.12) or stops being a creature. A creature that's removed from combat stops being an attacking, blocking, blocked, and/or unblocked creature. A planeswalker that's removed from combat stops being attacked.

Epochalyptik Thanks. Couldn't find that rule for some reason.
