can I activate Nyx Weaver's activated ability in the graveyard?

Asked by kmrys 10 years ago

I have some trouble thinking if you could exile him even if hes dead or if it is only applicable when hes in the battlefield

Abilities on permanent cards only work on the battlefield unless they specifically say otherwise (Bloodsoaked Champion , etc.), or would only make sense if they worked in some other zone (anything with Flash, etc.). Nyx Weaver can't be activated when it's in the graveyard.

Not unless the line for that ability says something like "you may activate this ability in the graveyard".

Check out Soul of Ravnica , or any of the soul cycle as an example.

Wait, that's a bad example ._.

Gravecrawler is probably better.

@Seraphicate: Gravecrawler doesn't have any activated abilities. It has two static abilities, the second of which modifies the zones from which you could cast Gravecrawler .
