Athreos, God of Passage vs Anafenza, the Foremost

Asked by labanog 10 years ago

hi If I have both in play in my control and my creature dies. Do Athreoes ability trigger or my creature automatically get exile due to anafenza?

im guessing due to the wording of athreos, "dies" it triggers first than anfensa which say "goes to the graveyard"

Thanks

Another question is if I control Anafenza and my opponent have athreos, do his athreos trigger? or does my Anafenza exiles his creature before his athreos triggers?

First, "dies" means "is put into a graveyard from the battlefield." They're the same thing, but "dies" is only used on creatures for flavor purposes.

These two cards don't interact. Anafenza, the Foremost's ability affects only cards your opponents own.

Leyline of the Void would do what you're thinking

Leyline of the Void also only affects cards opponents own. It has no interaction with Athreos, God of Passage.

Rest in Peace is an example of something that would prevent you from utilizing Athreos, God of Passage's last ability. It creates a replacement effect that exiles the cards, so they never actually die (to die, a creature has to be put into the graveyard from the battlefield; replacement effects stop that from happening).
