A question about Aminatou interactions
Asked by Chomp16 4 months ago
If I have an Aminatou with one loyalty counter left, and I use her -1 to blink felidar guardian, will she die before that creature enters the battlefield from the blink effect? I want to know if I can use her last loyalty counter, blink the felidar guardian, then blink Aminatou before she dies.Please link cards using double square brackets so it's easier to understand the question.

Unfortunately it won't work that way, due to state-based actions.
What happens is that you activate Aminatou's -1 ability to flicker Felidar Guardian. While that ability is still on the stack, state-based actions are checked (these are checked each time a player would receive priority, and all players must receive and pass priority for anything on the stack to resolve). Aminatou has 0 loyalty at this point, so she is placed into your graveyard due to state-based actions. Then, assuming nothing else has been added to the stack above her -1 ability, it resolves and Felidar Guardian is exiled and then returns to the battlefield.

Great, thank you! Sorry, that was the first question I've asked on here, I'll make sure to link the cards in the future.

yes she will die before the Felidar Guardian comes back. the instant a planeswalkers last loyalty counter is removed by their own effect, the planeswalker is sent to the graveyard as a state based action.
