Nantuko Monastery

Land

{T}: Add {1} to your mana pool.

Threshold - {G}{W}: Nantuko Monastery becomes a 4/4 green and white Insect Monk creature with first strike until end of turn. It's still a land. Activate this ability only if seven or more cards are in your graveyard.

Gatherer Card Rulings?, Legality?

• 8/1/2008: A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature is subject to the "summoning sickness" rule: It can only attack, and its {T} abilities can only be activated, if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of his or her most recent turn.
• 10/1/2009: The layering rules have changed. Now if you animate a land and it's power and toughness are lowered by Mutilate or a similar effect, reactivating the land's ability won't reset the values. This is because you apply all effects that set power and tougness to specific values before you apply any that modify power and toughness, regardless of the order in which the effects resolve.
