Rulings
  • 2025-04-04 Barrensteppe Siege's Mardu ability will check as the end step starts to see if a creature died under your control this turn. If none did, the ability won't trigger at all.
  • 2025-04-04 If you somehow control Barrensteppe Siege and no choice was made for it (perhaps because another permanent on the battlefield became a copy of it), it has neither of the two abilities.
