Returning from the GY

Asked by rufio1406 9 years ago

So let's say I have Banisher Priest Sin Collector , and Brain Maggot in my grave yard. I cast Return to the Ranks . Do all abilities trigger again?

Yes. They are Entering the Battlefield and that's when their abilities trigger. It doesn't matter where they are coming from.

Please note that Return to the Ranks specifies a converted mana cost of two or less, so Sin Collector and Banisher Priest could not be returned.

Brain Maggot triggers as it enters the battlefield. Banisher Priest and Sin Collector would have never left the GY since they have a CMC of 3. Return to the Ranks only pulls CMC of 2 or less.

Return to the Ranks causes creatures to enter the battlefield from the graveyard. This will cause all ETB abilities to trigger. The card only affects creatures with CMC 2 or less, so only the Brain Maggot would enter the battlefield and trigger its ability.

oh shoot!!!! I read it wrong and thought it was power 2 or less..... Sorry my bad thank you guys for telling me this before I embarrassed myself at fnm!!!

Also for future reference, if I am returning cards from the graveyard with abilities. How do the cards come into play? Is the order based on recently killed or I choose how they enter?

The cards enter simultaneously.

Again, to clarify, the cards will enter simultaneously, but you will choose the order in which the abilities go on the stack (in which order they happen).
