Official rulings

7 rulings · in English, source Scryfall

An attacking or blocking creature that phases out is removed from combat.

2022-04-29 · Wizards of the Coast

Phased-out permanents are treated as though they don't exist. They can't be the target of spells or abilities, their static abilities have no effect on the game, their triggered abilities can't trigger, they can't attack or block, and so on.

2022-04-29 · Wizards of the Coast

Permanents phase back in during their controller's untap step, immediately before that player untaps their permanents. Creatures that phase in this way are able to attack and pay a cost of {T} during that turn. If a permanent had counters on it when it phased out, it will have those counters when it phases back in.

2022-04-29 · Wizards of the Coast

Phasing out doesn't cause any “leaves the battlefield” abilities to trigger. Similarly, phasing in won't cause any “enters the battlefield” abilities to trigger.

2022-04-29 · Wizards of the Coast

Choices made for permanents as they entered the battlefield are remembered when they phase in.

2022-04-29 · Wizards of the Coast

As a creature is phased out, Auras and Equipment attached to it also phase out at the same time. Those Auras and Equipment will phase in at the same time that creature does, and they'll phase in still attached to that creature.

2022-04-29 · Wizards of the Coast

Any continuous effects with a “for as long as” duration, such as that of Extraction Specialist, ignore phased-out objects. If ignoring those objects causes the effect's conditions to no longer be met, the duration will expire.
