The Tarrasque rulings

2021-07-23
The Tarrasque will have haste and ward even if it was cast from a zone other than your hand. May we suggest the command zone?
2021-07-23
Fighting is not optional. If there is at least one legal target for The Tarrasque's last ability, it must fight.
2021-07-23
The fight happens in the declare attackers step before blockers are declared. Unless the creature it is fighting survives, that creature won't be able to block that combat.
2021-07-23
If a player casts a spell that targets multiple permanents their opponent controls with ward, each of those ward abilities will trigger. If that player doesn't pay for all of them, the spell will be countered.

The Tarrasque keyword rules

Fight Rule 701.12

A spell or ability may instruct a creature to fight another creature or it may instruct two creatures to fight each other. Each of those creatures deals damage equal to its power to the other creature.

If one or both creatures instructed to fight are no longer on the battlefield or are no longer creatures, neither of them fights or deals damage. If one or both creatures are illegal targets for a resolving spell or ability that instructs them to fight, neither of them fights or deals damage.

If a creature fights itself, it deals damage to itself equal to twice its power.

The damage dealt when a creature fights isn’t combat damage.
