Official rulings

  1. "Firebending N" is a keyword that represents the ability "Whenever this creature attacks, add N {R}. Until end of combat, you don't lose this mana as steps end." (2025-10-02)
  2. Multiple instances of firebending on the same creature trigger separately, each granting you the appropriate amount of mana. (2025-10-02)
  3. Any other mana you add during combat will still be lost as normal when moving between steps of combat. (2025-10-02)
