Rulings
- 2019-01-25
Mesmerizing Benthid has hexproof as long as you control any Illusion, not just Illusion tokens like the ones created by its first ability.
- 2019-01-25
The triggered ability of the Illusion tokens doesn't tap the attacking creature if it's untapped, most likely because it has vigilance.
