If Yixlid Jailer is on the battlefield, does it turn off Emrakul's last ability?

Asked by Hashtag-Netdeck 8 years ago

I think it will, because when the ability would go on the stack would be when Emrakul, the Aeons Torn's in the graveyard, and Yixlid Jailer takes away his text, thus giving him no abilities.

BlueScope says... Accepted answer #1

Gatherer Ruling:
If an ability triggers when the object that has it is put into a graveyard from anywhere other than the battlefield, that ability triggers from the graveyard, (such as Krosan Tusker, Narcomoeba, or Quagnoth, for example). Yixlid Jailer will prevent those abilities from triggering at all.

In short: Emrakuls ability won't trigger, and no libraries will be shuffled.
