Official rulings

  1. You may activate a permanent’s saddle ability even if that permanent is already saddled. (2024-04-12)
  2. An ability that triggers when a creature “attacks while saddled” will trigger only if that creature was saddled when it was declared as an attacker. (2024-04-12)
  3. You pay all costs and follow all normal timing rules for cards played from exile with Gila Courser’s first ability. For example, if the exiled card is a land card, you may play it only during your main phase while the stack is empty. (2024-04-12)
  4. “Saddled” isn’t an ability that a creature has. It’s just something true about that creature. It won’t stop being saddled until the turn ends or it leaves the battlefield. (2024-04-12)
  5. Creatures with saddle can attack or block as normal even if they aren’t saddled. (2024-04-12)
