Bleed Dry vs. Undying Malice

Asked by raphael75 2 years ago

If I have a creature & my opponent casts Bleed Dry and I respond with Undying Malice, do I get my creature back or does it stay exiled?

Since Bleed Dry never resolved, nothing about its effect will affect your creature. There's no difference in when the -13/-13 happens and the clause about exiling begins.

Yesterday says... Accepted answer #2

Undying Malace grants the creature an ability that triggers when it dies (is sent to the graveyard from the battlefield).

Assuming that Bleed Dry's -13/-13 would kill your creature (or that the creature would die some other way on the turn it was hit by the Bleed Dry), Bleed Dry specifies that the creature is exiled instead of dying.

Since it doesn't die, your Undying Malice never triggers. Your creature is sent to exile and doesn't return.

Oop. Think I was reading Undying Malice as a responsive sacrifice effect(?). Dunno how. Sorry for any confusion
