Battle for Zendikar introduced the \u201cawaken\u201d mechanic, which puts +1\/+1 counters on lands and turns them permanently into creatures. While Oath of the Gatewatch includes no cards with the mechanic, it does have a few nifty creatures with landfall abilities that can animate lands (including the one that just entered the battlefield). <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Embodiment+of+Insight&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Embodiment of Insight<\/a> also gives all your land creatures vigilance, letting them attack and tap for mana in the same turn. In fact, if you attack with a land creature and an Embodiment, it doesn\u2019t matter if the Embodiment dies later; the creature is still untapped and attacking because it was allowed to declare an attack and stay untapped at the beginning of the declare attackers step. It doesn\u2019t matter that it no longer has vigilance now, and even if it becomes tapped while attacking (perhaps because you cast a spell to pump it), it\u2019s still an attacking creature.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Rules Tip written by Jen Wong<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If Embodiment of Insight and a land creature attack, and the Embodiment is removed, the land creature is still untapped and attacking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4,17],"tags":[1284],"language":[1196],"class_list":["post-5981","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-combatphase","category-staticabilities","tag-embodiment-of-insight","language-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5981"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5981\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5982,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5981\/revisions\/5982"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5981"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5981"},{"taxonomy":"language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/language?post=5981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
