Reanimate lands with Lim-Dul
Asked by Tarzunga 5 years ago
Need some help with an interaction. I noticed something interesting in Lim-Dul the Necromancer, his ability says "Whenever a creature an opponent controls dies, you may pay 1B. If you do, return that card to the battlefield under your control. If it's a creature, it's a Zombie in addition to its other creature types.". The interesting part is where it says that it triggers when a creature dies but then says "return that card" and "if it is a creature" meaning if it stops being a creature when it is on the graveyard it still comes under your control, so I was wondering the following situation. My opponent has a swamp and I enchant it with Genju of the Fens, I pay the 2 mana to make it become a creature and kill it while Lim-Dul is on the battlefield. Now Lim-Dul should trigger because a creature died and I pay the 2 mana to reanimate it, it should work and the land come into my control, correct? Or am I wrong?
Thanks in advance.

Just for future reference, there is a Rules Q&A section for when you have questions about rules, cards, or card interactions. I've moved your thread over to there for your reference.
You are correct, both in conclusion and reasoning--the land will return to the battlefield under your control because it was a creature at the time of death.
