Rulings

From the Mastery Pack: Guardian + Smash Palace release notes · August 8, 2025
  • Testament of Valahai’s ability generates a conditional continuous effect that is always checking as long as it is face-up in the arena. If you control three or more Seismic Surge tokens, this gets +2defense. However, if you control six or more Seismic Surge tokens, this will get +4defense instead of +2defense
  • If you control 3 Seismic Surge tokens when this defends, then you lose one of those tokens, this will lose the +2defense. Similarly, if you control 6 Seismic Surge tokens when this defends, then you lose one of those tokens, this will lose the +4defense.
  • If a Seismic Surge token is created during the damage step and causes the if-conditional effect(s) to become active (e.g. 2 to 3; 5 to 6), it will get the +2defense/+4defense but the damage will not be recalculated.

Keyword notes

  • Guardwell is an ability keyword.
  • If a card with Guardwell has 0defense when Guardwell resolves, no counters are put on the card.
  • A card cannot have negative defense. If an effect would reduce a card to less than 0defense it only reduces it to 0.
  • If the card with Guardwell has defended and has 0defense when the combat chain closes, no counters are put on the card when the trigger resolves.
  • Guardwell’s effect resolves before effects that last for “the/this combat chain” end. E.g. Shred’s effect will still continue to apply to the defending card when Guardwell is resolving.
