Legacy Vintage Commander Penny Dreadful PreDH

Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 7 versions.

Official Judge Precedents

2 Precedents

The blocking ability triggers only once no matter how many blockers are declared.

A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its {T} abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn't matter how long the permanent has been a creature.
