Space sculptor is a keyword static ability that debuted in Unfinity. It is a keyworded version of Raging River's mechanic. So far, it has only appeared on the planeswalker card Space Beleren.
Description
Space sculptor divides the battlefield into three sub-zones — named alpha, beta and gamma. Creatures are then assigned to one of the three sub-zones. Non-creature permanents remain on the battlefield and are not assigned to any sub-zone.
By itself, the ability does not change any other aspect of the battlefield or the way creatures interact with each other. A creature in the alpha sector can still block and be blocked by creatures in the beta sector or gamma sector. It is the abilities of cards (i.e. Space Beleren) that interact with the different sectors.
Rules
From the glossary of the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- Space Sculptor
- A keyword ability that splits creatures on the battlefield into sectors. See rule 702.158, “Space Sculptor.”
From the Comprehensive Rules (June 7, 2024—Modern Horizons 3)
- 702.158. Space Sculptor
- 702.158a One card (Space Beleren) has the space sculptor ability. This keyword ability causes creatures to gain sector designations.
- 702.158b A sector designation is a designation a permanent can have. The sector designations are alpha sector, beta sector, and gamma sector. Only permanents can have a sector designation. Once a permanent gets a sector designation, it keeps it until no player controls a permanent with space sculptor or an ability whose source has space sculptor. A sector designation is not part of the permanent’s copiable values.
- 702.158c Any time a permanent with space sculptor and any creatures without a sector designation are on the battlefield at the same time, each player who controls one or more of those creatures and doesn’t control a permanent with space sculptor chooses a sector designation for each of those creatures they control. Then, each other player who controls one or more of those creatures chooses a sector designation for each of those creatures they control. This is a state-based action (see rule 704.5u).
- 702.158d Some abilities include an instruction to choose a sector along with an instruction to perform an action on each creature in that sector. To do this, choose one of the three sector designations, then perform that action on each creature with that sector designation.
- 702.158e Two permanents are in the same sector if each has the same sector designation.
