Can Alesha, Who Smiles at Death reanimate creatures with * power?
Asked by falc0n1234 6 years ago
Alesha, Who Smiles at Death can of course, reanimate creatures in your graveyard with power 2 or less, but can she reanimate cards, like Tarmogoyf, or Serra Avatar that each have * as their power?

It depends on exactly how the value of * is determined. For cards like Tarmogoyf and Serra Avatar, the ability is constantly updating * to the appropriate value. For cards like Sewer Nemesis or Minion of the Wastes, where the value of * depends on a choice or some other condition that's undefined while the card is in the graveyard, then * will default to 0 while it's in the graveyard.

if you go to the gatherer, it is explained there. under the rulings for Tarmogoyf and Serra Avatar, the rulings state that their abilities work in all zones, not just the battlefield. so in the case of Tarmogoyf, if there are 3+ card types in all graveyards, it cannot be reanimated by Alesha
