Is Relentless Dead's second ability "regenerate"

Asked by Aftertherevolution 7 years ago

My opponent has played Rout. I bring Relentless Dead back to my hand, and want to bring a second Lifebane Zombie. I have the mana for it. (and Lifebane Zombie was previously in my graveyard.

Can I bring it back, or is the second ability 'regenerate' and I can't do it because of Rout.

Regenerate only stops things that say "regenerate" like the activated ability of Thrun, the Last Troll or the static ability of Mossbridge Troll. Returning a creature from the grave is fine, even a creature sent to the grave at the same time as Lifebane Zombie.

Err, that is even a Lifebane Zombie sent to the graveyard at the same time as Relentless Dead, so it doesn't matter if it was already in the grave or if Rout killed both zombies.
