With Ancient Forest active, do Gladiator Beast tag-out effects resolve before Ancient Forest?!
A Gladiator Beast battles under Ancient Forest and would tag out at end of Battle Phase.
The guidance given was that GB effects can resolve and then Ancient Forest applies; these are time-based triggers rather than a standard chain.
If Ancient Forest is on the field, can the Gladiator Beast still tag out at end of battle?!
A Gladiator Beast battles while Ancient Forest is active.
Yes. Phase-based effects resolve in priority order, and the turn player can tag out before Ancient Forest applies.
