Step Between (Red)

Step Between’s first ability is functional while it is an attacking card on the combat chain until the combat chain closes. It is also functional while it is on the stack. As long as it is functional, the ability generates a continuous effect that prevents opponents from playing or activating instants.

Effects that allow you to play an instant card (e.g. from your banished zone, graveyard etc) will not let you play that card under Step Between’s continuous effect as effects that impose restrictions supercede effects that provide allowances.

You can still play non-instant cards / activate non-instant abilities as though they were instants while Step Between’s effect is active.

When Step Between’s second ability resolves, Step Between will get +1 and a continuous effect that makes damage dealt unpreventable this combat chain. This can include its own damage and other attacks on this same combat chain.

Step Between’s activated ability is not functional while defending.
