From the Mastery Pack: Guardian + Smash Palace release notes · August 8, 2025
- Annexation of Grandeur’s Crush ability triggers when it deals 4 or more damage to a Guardian hero. You gain control of an aura that Guardian hero controls when this triggered effect resolves (e.g. an aura permanent, an aura token, a defending card with the aura sub-type, a card with the aura sub-type on the stack).
- Any objects you gain control of from the other player will remain in its current state (e.g. tapped/untapped, existing counters, etc.).
- The effect of gaining control of an object does not satisfy any conditions nor trigger any effects that specifically look at when the object enters the arena or is played because the object is already in the arena and the control of the object is simply changing.
- Gaining control of an object does not count as the other hero stealing or heroes giving that object for the purposes of rules or effects.
- When resolving the Crush triggered effect, if you were to gain control of a defending card with the aura sub-type, it will remain as a defending card. If this is the case and the damage step hasn’t happened yet, that defending card will contribute its defense value (if any) during the attack’s damage calculation.
