All is Dust vs Gift of Immortality
Asked by metalmustaine 4 years ago
If my opponent used All Is Dust , can i declare that my creature would die first so that both creature and Gift of Immortality will already be out of battlefield and prevent immortality from being destroyed?
Shady78 is correct. All Is Dust causes all coloured permanents to be sacrificed simultaneously. As such, Gift of Immortality will "see" the fact the creature died simultaneously with it, and its ability will still trigger even though it also was sacrificed.
Compare to Austere Command . With command, you perform the actions as ordered on the card. If Gift is on a CMC 1 creature, and Enchantments and CMC 3 or less are chosen, first you destroy all enchantments, since that is printed first on the card; then you destroy all creatures. Since enchantments were destroyed first, Gift would be gone by the time the creature was destroyed, and thus would not trigger upon the creature's death.

cdkime so does this mean that gift of immortality survives, or only the creature is returned?

Gift of Immortally’s trigger occurs in full. Which means:
- You return the creature to the battlefield when the trigger resolves.
- You return Gift to the battlefield attached to that creature at the beginning of the next end step.

Technically, it is an Aura and is attached to the creature permanent until removed or the creature is put in the graveyard. It resolves at the same time so I believe that Gift of Immortality would still be able to activate its ability.
