Question: lets say I have a Llanowar Elves and it gets targeted with a Shock by my opponent. Then, in response, I use a hypothetical phasing card that could read "target creature phases out, then phases in" in a manner similar to Cloudshift. Would the Shock fizzle as a result of the hypothetical phasing card OR does it not fizzle? If it does fizzle, what would be the proper wording?
Reason: Experimenting with the phasing mechanic in card design.
This should be in Custom Card Rulings as it is about a card that doesn't exist.
When an object phases out and then back in, it is the same object as before. This means that when the Shock goes to resolve, it will still see the current object as the one it targeted.
Phasing out then immediately phasing in does absolutely nothing in general, unless you have "whenever something phases in/out" effects like Shimmering Efreet or Teferi's Imp.
I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.
