Interaction between Death Pits of Rath and No Mercy

Asked by CMGraves 6 years ago

Say I have Pestilence Demon on the field equipped with Scythe of the Wretched. I also have Death Pits of Rath and No Mercy. The problem is that if I paid and did damage to myself, Pestilence Demon would have two "death" triggers, one from each enchantment. So if I said Pestilence Demon died from the Death Pits of Rath trigger, would it come back from the Scythe trigger and then be killed again by No Mercy's trigger?

And, if that's the case it seems like it would die again and then come back again to the Scythe trigger?

Not sure how to figure this one out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

No. Once Pestilence Demon comes back, it's no longer the same object that triggered Death Pits and No Mercy. Just remember that when an object changes zones, it becomes a different object. So, the demon dies, comes back, scythe is attached to it, and the triggered ability from the second enchantment fizzles.

OK, thanks cgomes. I guess I read too much into it and made it too complicated.
