cr:5.4.7

A while-static ability is a static ability with a condition that makes it functional under specified circumstances. While-conditional abilities are written in the format “While [CONDITION], [ABILITY]” or “If [CONDITION], while [CONDITION], [ABILITY],” where the ABILITY is the static ability that is functional whenever the CONDITION is met.

Example: Yinti Yanti has the text “While this is defending and you control an aura, it gets +1{d},” which is a while-static ability that is functional when it is a non-permanent defending card because it has a while-condition that is met when the card is defending.

Contents

  • cr:5.4.7aA while-static ability is functional when its while-condition is met and when its source is public, when its source is private if the while-condition explicitly specifies it, or when its source is private and the while-condition specifies it functions in that private zone. Otherwise, a while-static ability is not functional.
  • cr:5.4.7bA hidden triggered ability is both a while-static ability and triggered-static ability, where the while-condition specifies that the source is private or in a private zone. If the triggered condition is met while the ability is functional and the source is private, the owner may decide to trigger the effect. If they do, the source of the ability becomes public and the triggered effect produces a triggered-layer to be added to the stack. The source remains public until the triggered-layer resolves or otherwise ceases to exist, and then it returns to being private.
