Accepted Answer

In a multiplayer game, if Xantcha's owner leaves the game, Xantcha leaves the game with them. If Xantcha's controller leaves the game, Xantcha is exiled. This is a change from previous rulings due to Xantcha's updated wording.

Question 2

Ruling for Xantcha, Sleeper Agent: Xantcha's first ability is a replacement effect that modifies how it enters the ...

Accepted Answer

Xantcha's first ability is a replacement effect that modifies how it enters the battlefield, not a triggered ability. Players can't take actions (such as activating its last ability) while Xantcha's on the battlefield before it's controlled by another player.

Question 3

Ruling for Xantcha, Sleeper Agent: The player who draws a card when Xantcha's last ability resolves is the player w...

Accepted Answer

The player who draws a card when Xantcha's last ability resolves is the player who activated the ability.

Accepted Answer

Xantcha's controller may activate its last ability. In this case, the same player loses 2 life and draws a card.

Accepted Answer

If a player creates a token that's a copy of Xantcha, the player who creates the token is its owner, not the player under whose control it enters the battlefield. This is a change from previous rules.

Question 6

Ruling for Xantcha, Sleeper Agent: If Xantcha can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped or having come unde...

Accepted Answer

If Xantcha can't attack for any reason (such as being tapped or having come under that player's control that turn), then it doesn't attack. If there's a cost associated with having it attack, the player isn't forced to pay that cost, so it doesn't have to attack in that case either.
