Kuon's Essence
Legendary Enchantment
At the beginning of each player's upkeep, that player sacrifices a creature of their choice.
Rulings
Creatures put into graveyards after the end-of-turn step begins have no particular effect on Kuon.
Each Ascendant is legendary in both its unflipped and flipped forms. This means that effects that look for legendary creature cards, such as Time of Need and Captain Sisay, can find an Ascendant.
Kuon’s flip ability looks at everything that happened during that turn, even before Kuon entered the battlefield.
