  • cr:7.0.5aTo be added as a defending card, the card is put on the respective chain link. The card is considered to be defending until it leaves the combat chain. Then the “defend” event occurs and effects that trigger from defending are triggered. The controller of the card at the time it defends is considered to have defended with that card.
  • cr:7.0.5bIf an effect would add a card on a chain link as a defending card, but the card is already defending on that chain link or the card cannot become a defending card due to another effect, the effect fails, no defend event occurs, and the card does not move zones.
  • cr:7.0.5cA defending card is considered to be defending against the active-attack on the chain link. If the active-attack ceases to exist, last known information about the active-attack is used to determine the properties, control, and ownership of the attack.[1.2.3]
  • cr:7.0.5dA card can only defend on one chain link for one attack-target at a time. If there are multiple attack-targets and an effect adds a defending card to a chain link but does not specify which attack-target it defends for, the controller of the effect determines which attack-target it will defend for.
  • cr:7.0.5eIf exactly one card is put onto a chain link as a defending card it is considered to defend alone. If two or more cards are put onto a chain link as defending cards in the same event, they are considered to defend together.
