Below are all the rulings for the Dreadnought. Phyrexian Dreadnought Color= Artifact Type= Artifact Creature Cost= 1 MI(R) Text (MI+errata): 12/12, Trample. ; If ~this~ would come into play, sacrifice any number of creatures with total power 12 or greater instead. If you do, put ~this~ into play. If you don't, put it into its owner's graveyard. [Oracle 2000/02/01] It no longer has a "comes into play" ability. You have to sacrifice creatures right before it comes into play by any means. [D'Angelo 1999/07/29] The sacrifice is not optional. The last sentence is equivalent to "If you can't sacrifice enough power in creatures, put it..." [DeLaney 2000/02/21] When it phases in, it is not "coming into play" due to the phasing rules. So you don't have to sacrifice again when it phases in. [D'Angelo 1999/07/29] The sacrifices are simultaneous, not one at a time. So if have a Keldon Warlord and 6 other creatures, you have a 7/7 Warlord, and you can sacrifice it and 5 other creatures all at once to pay the cost. [D'Angelo 2000/02/25] So, you must sacrifice the creatures before you put it into play. If you do, it comes into play and triggers the Pandemonium. If you don't, Panda never triggers for the creature goes straight to the graveyard. Chris Magner Beeble218@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
