The literal-minded Phyrexians made the greatest mistake possible on Xerex: they tried to understand what they were seeing.

Invasion of Xerex // Vertex Paladin

Flying
Vertex Paladin's power and toughness are each equal to the number of creatures you control.

Die verstandgesteuerten Phyrexianer begingen auf Xerex den größtmöglichen Fehler: Sie versuchten zu begreifen, was sie sahen.

Invasion von Xerex // Vertex-Paladin

(Sowie eine Belagerung ins Spiel kommt, bestimme einen Gegner, der sie beschützt. Du und andere könnt sie angreifen. Wenn sie überwunden wird, schicke sie ins Exil und wirke sie dann transformiert.)
Wenn die Invasion von Xerex ins Spiel kommt, bringe bis zu eine Kreatur deiner Wahl auf die Hand ihres Besitzers zurück.

Los pirexianos, con su carácter literal, cometieron el mayor error posible en Xerex: trataron de entender lo que veían.

Invasión de Xerex // Paladín del vértice

(En cuanto un Asedio entre, elige un oponente para que lo proteja. Tú y otros jugadores pueden atacarlo. Cuando sea derrotado, exílialo y luego lánzalo transformado.)
Cuando la Invasión de Xerex entre al campo de batalla, regresa hasta una criatura objetivo a la mano de su propietario.

Sur Xerex, les Phyrexians, avec leur esprit trop littéral, commirent la pire des erreurs : ils tentèrent de comprendre ce qu'ils voyaient.

Invasion de Xerex // Paladin de vertex

(Au moment où un siège arrive, choisissez un adversaire pour le protéger. Vous et les autres pouvez l'attaquer. Quand il est vaincu, exilez-le, puis lancez-le transformé.)
Quand l'Invasion de Xerex arrive sur le champ de bataille, renvoyez jusqu'à une créature ciblée dans la main de son propriétaire.

I Phyrexiani, con le loro menti semplici, commisero il più grave errore possibile su Xerex: tentarono di comprendere ciò che vedevano.

Invasione di Xerex // Paladino del Vertice

(Mentre un Assedio entra, scegli un avversario che lo protegga. Tu e gli altri giocatori potete attaccare l'Assedio. Quando viene sconfitto, esilialo, poi lancialo trasformato.)
Quando l'Invasione di Xerex entra nel campo di battaglia, fai tornare fino a una creatura bersaglio in mano al suo proprietario.

合理的思考のファイレクシア人は、キセレクスに対してこれ以上ないほどの間違いを犯した。彼らが目の当たりにしたものを理屈で理解しようとしたのだ。

キセレクスへの侵攻 // 天頂の聖騎士

（包囲戦１つが戦場に出るに際し、それを守る対戦相手１人を選ぶ。あなたや他のプレイヤーはそれを攻撃できる。それが倒されたとき、それを追放する。その後、それを変身させた状態で唱える。）
キセレクスへの侵攻が戦場に出たとき、クリーチャー最大１体を対象とする。それをオーナーの手札に戻す。

Os phyrexianos, com suas mentes prosaicas, cometeram o maior erro possível em Xerex: tentaram compreender o que estavam vendo.

Invasão de Xerex // Paladino do Vértice

(Conforme um Cerco entrar no campo de batalha, escolha um oponente para protegê-lo. Você e outros podem atacá-lo. Quando ele for derrotado, exile-o e depois o conjure transformado.)
Quando Invasão de Xerex entrar no campo de batalha, devolva até uma criatura alvo para a mão de seu dono.

死板的非瑞克西亚人犯了在兹雷兹上最不该犯的错：他们居然想要去理解他们眼前看到的一切。

进军兹雷兹 // 顶点神圣武士

(于围攻进战场时，选择一位对手来防卫之。你和其他牌手能攻击围攻。当围攻失守时，将它放逐，然后你施放已转化的此牌。）
当进军兹雷兹进战场时，将至多一个目标生物移回其拥有者手上。

(As a Siege enters, choose an opponent to protect it. You and others can attack it. When it's defeated, exile it, then cast it transformed.)
When this Siege enters, return up to one target creature to its owner's hand.

March of the Machine

(As a Siege enters, choose an opponent to protect it. You and others can attack it. When it's defeated, exile it, then cast it transformed.)
When Invasion of Xerex enters the battlefield, return up to one target creature to its owner's hand.

A Siege's controller can't be its protector. If a Siege's protector ever gains control of it, they choose a new player to be its protector. This is a state-based action.

A battle can be attacked by all players other than its protector. Notably, this means a Siege's controller can attack it.

A battle can be dealt damage and be target of spells and/or abilities that target "any target."

A battle's "defense" is displayed in the bottom right corner of the card. A battle enters the battlefield with that number of defense counters. If another permanent enters the battlefield as a copy of a battle, it also enters with that number of defense counters.

As a Siege enters the battlefield, its controller chooses an opponent to be its protector.

Battles can't attack or block, even if one also becomes a creature. If an attacking or blocking creature somehow becomes a battle in addition to being a creature, it is removed from combat.

Damage dealt to a battle causes that many defense counters to be removed from it.

If a Siege never had defense counters on it (perhaps because a permanent became a copy of one), it can't have its last defense counter removed. It will be put into its owner's graveyard. You won't exile it or cast the other face.

If a battle has no defense counters, and it isn't the source of a triggered ability that has triggered but not yet left the stack, that battle is put into its owner's graveyard. This is a state-based action. This doesn't cause a Siege's intrinsic triggered ability to trigger.

If a battle that's being attacked somehow stops being a battle, it is removed from combat. Similarly, if its controller changes in the middle of combat, it is removed from combat.

If a non-battle permanent that is already on the battlefield become a copy of a Siege, its controller chooses one of their opponents to be that battle's protector. However, it will most likely be put into its owner's graveyard because it has no defense counters (see below).

If a permanent that is represented by a transforming double-faced card becomes a copy of a Siege, it will be exiled as that Siege's triggered ability resolves, then it will be cast transformed. Note that this applies only to transforming double-faced cards, not to modal double-faced cards that can normally be played using either face.

If a token or a card that isn't represented by a transforming double-faced card becomes a copy of a Siege, it can't be cast as its triggered ability resolves. It will remain in exile. If it's a token, it will cease to exist the next time state-based actions are performed.

In a multiplayer game, if the protector of a battle leaves the game and that battle is not currently being attacked, its controller chooses a new protector for it as a state-based action. If it is being attacked, its controller chooses a new protector for it once no creatures are attacking it. This means that it continues to be attacked and can be dealt combat damage as normal.

Only creatures controlled by a battle's protector can block creatures that are attacking that battle. This means a Siege's controller can never assign creatures to block for it.

Sieges each have an intrinsic triggered ability. That ability is "When the last defense counter is removed from this permanent, exile it, then you may cast it transformed without paying its mana cost."
