Battleship Mutant/Rulings


 * Q: I use this creature's tap ability. Then I attack with Giliam, the Tormentor. Giliam is a darkness creature that says, "Whenever this creature loses a battle against a light creature, this creature isn't destroyed." Gilliam is blocked by a light creature with greater power. Is Giliam destroyed?
 * A: Yes, but not in battle. Giliam's ability prevents it from being destroyed by losing the battle to the light creature. After the battle, though, Battleship Mutant's ability destroys Giliam.
