Eccentric Apprentice's last ability works even if it wasn't on the battlefield when you completed a dungeon and even if the dungeon was completed on a previous turn.

Wotc — July 23, 2021

A creature that becomes a Bird this way loses all other creature types but does not lose any of its abilities.

Wotc — July 23, 2021

The last ability will overwrite any previous effects that set the creature's power and toughness to specific numbers. Effects that otherwise modify the target creature's power and toughness will still apply no matter when they took effect. The same is true for +1/+1 counters.

Wotc — July 23, 2021

To venture into the dungeon, a player moves their venture marker into the next room of the dungeon they are currently in. If they aren't currently in a dungeon, that player instead chooses a dungeon card from outside the game, puts it into the command zone, and moves their venture marker onto the first room.

Wotc — July 23, 2021

Moving into a dungeon room will cause its room ability to trigger.

Wotc — July 23, 2021

Once you resolve the last room ability of a dungeon, that dungeon is now completed and is removed from the game.

Wotc — July 23, 2021

A player may only have one dungeon in the command zone at a time.

Wotc — July 23, 2021

The player venturing into the dungeon chooses which dungeon they will venture into. They may choose a dungeon that they have already completed this game.

Wotc — July 23, 2021

Dungeon cards are not part of a player's deck or sideboard. In both constructed and limited formats, players can use any dungeon card when they venture into the dungeon.

Wotc — July 23, 2021

You can only move forward (well, downward) in a dungeon, never backwards or sideways.

Wotc — July 23, 2021

Dungeons are removed from the game as a state-based action.

Wotc — July 23, 2021

If you somehow venture into the dungeon while a room's ability is on the stack, you will continue on in the dungeon. If you're already in the last room, complete that dungeon and start a new one.

Wotc — July 23, 2021

Choosing the dungeon or room to venture into is part of resolving the venture into the dungeon keyword action. Once that choice is made, players may not respond until after the appropriate room ability has triggered.
