Mirror Gallery and Phasing
Asked by Quickspell 4 years ago
I read the rules concerning phasing. What I'm unsure about: When I have multiple legendaries on the battlefield due to Mirror Gallery and then target it with Vision Charm 's first option, Mirror Gallery's effect will perish, forcing me to sacrifice all legendaries with the same name beyond a single copy. Is that right?

Note that the legend rule doesn’t force you to sacrifice permanents, but rather simply put them into their owner’s graveyard. This is an important distinction as it would not trigger effects such as Smothering Abomination , Korvold, Fae-Cursed King , nor The death bug

Thank you Raging_Squiggle, I wasn't fully aware of the distinction.

That's right. A phased-out object is treated as though it doesn't exist. Nothing in the game can affect it and it can't have any effect on the game.
