510 - Status
- 510.1 - A permanent's status is its physical state. There are three status
categories, each of which has two possible values: tapped/untapped,
flipped/unflipped, and face up/face down. Each permanent always has one
of these values for each of these categories. [CompRules 2007/10/01]
- 510.2 - Status is not a characteristic, though it may affect a permanent's
characteristics. [CompRules 2006/05/01]
- 510.3 - Permanents come into play untapped, unflipped, and face up unless a
spell or ability says otherwise. [CompRules 2006/05/01]
- 510.4 - A permanent retains its status until a spell, ability, or game
action changes it, even if that status is not relevant to it.

Example: Dimir Doppelganger says "{1}{U}{B}: Remove target creature
card in a graveyard from the game. Dimir Doppelganger becomes a copy of
that card and gains this ability." It becomes a copy
of Jushi Apprentice, a flip card. Through use of Jushi Apprentice's
ability, this creature flips, making it a copy of Tomoya the Revealer
with the Dimir Doppelganger ability. If this permanent then becomes a
copy of Grizzly Bears, it will retain its flipped status even though
that has no relevance to Grizzly Bears. If its copy ability is activated
again, this time targeting a Nezumi Shortfang card (another flip card),
this permanent's flipped status means it will have the characteristics
of Stabwhisker the Odious (the flipped version of Nezumi Shortfang)
with the Dimir Doppelganger ability. [CompRules 2006/05/01]
- 510.5 - Only permanents have status. Cards not in play do not. Although a
card in the removed-from-the-game zone may be face down, this has no
correlation to the face-down status of a permanent. [CompRules 2006/05/01]
- 510.6 - A permanent that phases out remembers its status, as well as other
information about the permanent (such as who controls it or whether it has
any counters on it). It will phase in with the same status it had when it
phased out. If it was face down when it phased out, it will stay face
down in the phased-out zone. [CompRules 2006/05/01]
- 510.Ruling.1 - A permanent that leaves play stops being tapped or untapped
as per Rule 510.5, so any effect that lasts "as long as" a permanent is
tapped will end when the permanent leaves play. [D'Angelo 2007/04/07]
