Is Azuki’s Shocked like “doesn’t untap during its next untap step” in Magic?
YesYes. Shocked is the Azuki TCG’s keyword for Magic’s “doesn’t untap during its controller’s next untap step”. The difference is what a tapped card means: an Azuki tapped entity can be attacked, so Shocked also keeps it open to attacks.
Shocked in the Azuki TCG
A Shocked card does not untap during its next untap phase. On a tapped card that means a lost turn: it can’t attack, can’t use Defender (which needs it untapped), and as a tapped Garden entity it can still be attacked. Denmu shocks whatever attacks it.
The same
- Both skip one untap and then wear off.
- Both only matter on a card that is tapped, which is why Magic effects usually tap the creature first and Denmu shocks the attacker, which tapped to attack.
Different
- Magic creatures are never attacked. A Shocked Azuki entity stays tapped in the Garden, so it is a legal target for another turn.
- A tapped Azuki entity can’t use Defender, so Shocked also removes a blocker.
Magic: The Gathering: checked against the Magic Comprehensive Rules. Azuki TCG: printed card text and the rules.
