Getting around the "God X can't attack unless Y" with Identity Thief
Asked by SorcerersBone 7 years ago
Let's say your field has Rhonas the Indomitable and Identity Thief, and no creatures large enough to allow Rhonas to attack. Could you attack with Identity Thief, exiling the God, and still attack as a copy of snek-god?
When Rhonas comes back from exile, is Identity Thief still a copy of Rhonas, forcing one of them to be put in the graveyard as a state based action?
Yes, as Identity Thief is already attacking when it becomes a copy of Rhonas the Indomitable it will still be attacking. It will also still be a copy when the original returns, so you will have to send one the the graveyard as a state-based action.
