Can Mirage Mirror stay exerted?

Asked by HollowPK 6 years ago

Let's say I have a Mirage Mirror out and a Glory-Bound Initiate. If I activate the mirror, targeting the Glory-Bound Initiate, I'll have a copy of it. Exerting the mirror, will it untap in my next turn, since it will no longer be a creature?

Welcome to TappedOut!

Please note that the rules reminder text on cards (in italics and surrounded by parantheses) is NOT the official rules text.

These are the rules for Exert:

---

701.37a To exert a permanent, you choose to have it not untap during your next untap step.

701.37b A permanent can be exerted even if its not tapped or has already been exerted in a turn. If you exert a permanent more than once before your next untap step, each effect causing it not to untap expires during the same untap step.701.37c An object that isnt on the battlefield cant be exerted.

701.37d "You may exert [this creature] as it attacks" is an optional cost to attack (see rule 508.1g). Some objects with this static ability have a triggered ability that triggers when you do printed in the same paragraph. These abilities are linked. (See rule 607.2g.)

Excert isn't an ability of creatures, but of permanents. Mirage Mirror will stay tapped.
