If I defend with Tremor of íArathael red and put a card into the banished zone as an instant, will the tremor go to 6 power, thus popping a Phantasm attack?
#Tremor of íArathael buffed on defense

It will not. Abilities on defending cards are not active unless the card is a d-react or equipment or the abilities says it is active while defending

Related question: I'm pretty sure I've seen people buff attack power to pop Phantasm cards before, but of course I can't think of an example. Is just a matter of being an external effect or ability? Like defending with a 4{p} arrow and playing Rain Razors or something?

rain razors doesn't work since it only effects attacking arrows. the main examples of trigger phantasm is using Lightning Press (since it is an instant) or art of war
but yes that is because they are not abilities on the defending cards

Example of card buffing itself and poping phantasm is red flex.

So Exude Confident doesn’t pop too?
idle vortex
Thats true bc its ability don't work during blocking

I think this is the relevant rules text. This is talking about activated abilities, but triggered-static abilities also fall under 1.7.5

Last time I checked if you have channel mount heroic out and you defend a phantasm attack with let's say snatch it will pop it
