Eerie is an ability word introduced in Duskmourn: House of Horror, where it is connected to the enchantments, and particularly to the plane's Rooms.[1][2]

Description

A card's eerie ability triggers every time an enchantment enters the battlefield under the player's control or whenever you fully unlock a Room.

Eerie is similar to the constellation ability, but it also triggers whenever you fully unlock a Room. Notably Rooms are enchantments, so a single Room card could trigger an Eerie ability twice.

Rulings

  • If a permanent with an eerie ability enters at the same time as one or more enchantments, its ability will trigger for each of those enchantments.[3]
  • A Room is "fully unlocked" once both halves have been individually unlocked.[1]
  • An ability that triggers "whenever you fully unlock a Room" triggers when a door becomes unlocked and the other door of that Room is already unlocked, or when both doors of that Room become unlocked simultaneously.

Examples

Example
