If a permanent is phased out, it is still on the battlefield, but it is treated as though it does not exist. Global effects don't apply to it. "Target permanent" effects can't target it. It can't attack or block, and its abilities become irrelevant.
Phased out permanents phase in at the beginning of a player's turn, before untap. This action just happens; it doesn't use the stack.
When a permanent phases out, it's still on the battlefield, so LTB and ETB abilities won't trigger for phasing. Phasing has no interaction with champion.
