Title: Flying out of quicksand?
Post by: Paleblue on February 24, 2013, 09:32:50 PM

An issue came up the other day when we where playing the new expansion, can a creature who is trapped in quicksand gain flying and therefore the quicksand is removed? The restrained keyword states that a creature who has flight loses it as long as they are within quicksand, I was inclined to think that even if it gained flying it would be still stuck because the restraint was an on going effect.

I believe part of "restrained" as a condition is that the creature cannot gain or re-gain flying.  But I could be off.

Restrained removes flying and prevents flying. Since quicksand can only be played on a non-flying creature, you have to use a Knockdown or something to land the quicksand - but once it is on, the creature is stuck.

Thanks mate, I figured that was the case.
