Does phasing in count as ETB?
Does phasing trigger ETB or LTB effects? No, it doesn’t. For the same reason that auras and equipments don’t fall off during phasing, ETB (enter the battlefield) and LTB (leave the battlefield) triggers don’t go off. Because the permanent didn’t change zones, nothing left or entered the battlefield.
Can you cast spells while phased out?
