Badlands Lizard/Rulings


 * Badlands Lizard and Choya, the Unheeding both have the ability, "Whenever this creature becomes blocked, no battle happens. (Both creatures stay tapped.)"
 * Q: What happens if I block one of these creatures with Zorvaz, the Bonecrusher, which says, "When this creature battles, destroy it after the battle"?
 * A: Since the battle doesn't happen, Zorvaz stays in the battle zone tapped.
 * Q: What if I block with Gigagriff, which has the "slayer" ability?
 * A: Since the battle doesn't happen, "slayer" doesn't work. The attacking creature isn't destroyed.
 * Q: What if I block with Spiral Grass, which says, "Whenever this creature blocks, untap it after it battles"?
 * A: When Spiral Grass blocks, its ability triggers. However, since there is no battle, Spiral Grass doesn't untap.
