Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser rulings

2024-02-02
You can target a creature that's already suspected with Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser's second ability.
2024-02-02
When an effect suspects a creature, it becomes suspected. It gains menace and "This creature can't block" for as long as it's suspected. It stays suspected until it leaves the battlefield or another effect causes it to no longer be suspected.
2024-02-02
If a suspected creature loses all abilities, it will lose menace and "This creature can't block", but it won't stop being suspected.
2024-02-02
Being suspected isn't a copiable value. If a permanent becomes a copy of a suspected creature, it won't be suspected.
2024-02-02
If a creature is already suspected, suspecting it again won't have any effect.
2024-02-02
There's no limit to the number of creatures that can be suspected simultaneously. Suspecting a new creature doesn't cause other creatures to stop being suspected.

Nelly Borca, Impulsive Accuser keyword rules

Goad Rule 701.38

Certain spells and abilities can goad a creature. Until the next turn of the controller of that spell or ability, that creature is goaded.

Goaded is a designation a permanent can have. A goaded creature attacks each combat if able and attacks a player other than the controller of the permanent, spell, or ability that caused it to be goaded if able. Goaded is neither an ability nor part of the permanent’s copiable values.

A creature can be goaded by multiple players. Doing so creates additional combat requirements.

Once a player has goaded a creature, the same player goading it again has no effect. Doing so doesn’t create additional combat requirements.

Vigilance Rule 702.20

Vigilance is a static ability that modifies the rules for the declare attackers step.

Attacking doesn’t cause creatures with vigilance to tap. (See rule , “Declare Attackers Step.”)

Multiple instances of vigilance on the same creature are redundant.

Suspect Rule 701.58

Certain spells and abilities instruct a player to suspect a creature. That creature becomes suspected until it leaves the battlefield or until a spell or ability causes it to no longer be suspected.

Suspected is a designation a permanent can have. Only permanents can have the suspected designation. Suspected is neither an ability nor part of the permanent’s copiable values.

A suspected permanent has menace and “This creature can’t block” for as long as it’s suspected.

A suspected permanent can’t become suspected again.
