Rulings
- : If a triggered ability triggers at the same time that Karakyk Guardian deals damage for the first time, targets for that ability are chosen after Karakyk Guardian no longer has hexproof.
- : If Karakyk Guardian leaves the battlefield and returns, it’s considered a new object even if it’s represented by the same card. It has hexproof again until it deals damage.
