Rising of the Day is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Creatures you control have haste. Legendary creatures you control get +1/+0.
Complete guide
Rising of the Day is a powerful red enchantment that speeds up your game plan significantly. By granting your entire board the ability to act immediately and boosting your legendary leaders, it turns every top-deck into an immediate threat.
Granting Haste and Power
This enchantment provides two distinct static effects. First, every creature you control gains haste, meaning they can attack or use abilities with the tap symbol the same turn they enter the battlefield. Second, any creature you control that has the 'Legendary' supertype receives a +1/+0 power boost, making your heroes even more formidable in combat.
How it Resolves Step by Step
When you cast Rising of the Day, it enters the battlefield as a non-targeted permanent. As soon as it resolves, its static effects are immediately active. Any creature currently on your board or that enters later while this is in play will benefit from haste. The power bonus for legendary creatures is also applied continuously; if a creature loses its legendary status, it loses the bonus, and if a non-legendary creature becomes legendary, it gains the bonus immediately.
Strategic Timing
Because Rising of the Day costs three mana, it is best played just before you drop your most impactful creatures. Unlike temporary haste effects, this stays on the board, ensuring that even creatures returned from the graveyard or created as tokens are ready for battle. It is particularly effective in decks featuring many legendary spells or aggressive strategies.
Common Pitfalls
Remember that Rising of the Day only grants haste and power to creatures you control. If an opponent takes control of one of your creatures, that creature will lose the benefits unless that opponent also happens to control their own copy of Rising of the Day. Additionally, the +1/+0 bonus only applies to the power characteristic, not toughness, so your legendary creatures remain just as vulnerable to damage as before.
Interaction examples
Impact TremorsWith both enchantments on the field, every creature you play not only deals 1 damage to each opponent via Impact Tremors but can also attack immediately thanks to Rising of the Day. This creates a high-pressure environment where your opponent takes damage both from the creature entering and its immediate combat phase.
Underworld BreachIf you have Underworld Breach active, you can cast creature cards from your graveyard. Normally, these creatures would have to wait a turn to attack. With Rising of the Day in play, any creature you 'Escape' from the graveyard gains haste instantly, allowing you to use them for combat or tap abilities before Underworld Breach is sacrificed at the end step.
