Triggering Yahenni, undying partisans +1/+1 ability by gaining control and sacing an opponents creature

Asked by MTGStevieD 6 years ago

Say you use a Hijack on a opponents creature and then sac it to Yahenni, Undying Partisan Does Yahenni, Undying Partisan gain the +1/+1 for an opponents creature dying? Or no because it died while it was under your control?

603.10d Abilities that trigger when a player loses control of an object look back in time.

You control the creature even though it goes into your opponent's grave. Yahenni doesn't get the counter.

Also, "dies" triggers look at the last moment the creature was still on the battlefield to determine if and how they trigger. At that moment, your opponent didn't control the creature.
