Rulings · 6

2019-08-23wotc

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.

2018-07-13wotc

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

2018-07-13wotc

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.
