Rulings
- 2004-10-04 · wotc — Wears off at the beginning of the upkeep, not during upkeep.
- 2008-08-01 · wotc — A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its {T} abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn't matter how long the permanent has been a creature.
