Rulings

2011-01-01

For flying to work as an evasion ability, Vault Skyward must be cast before the declare blockers step begins. Once a creature has become blocked, giving it flying won’t change that.

2011-01-01

Vault Skyward can target any creature, including one that already has flying or is already untapped.
