Can You Tap Eldrazi Scion tokens with Cryptolith Rite
Asked by Lf2002 8 years ago
I want to be able to ramp into Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger on turn four in aristocrats ramp by using Cryptolith Rite and eldrazi scions is it possible to tap them and then sacrifice the eldrazi scions.
MarkerD is correct.
To go a little deeper. Any card that says "creatures you control have..." Applies to ALL creatures you control.
Such as Cryptolith Rite.
For a card to apply to token only or nontoken only it has to be worded as such. Example Intangible Virtue.
As previously stated they also cannot have summoning sickness or they can not use the ability of rite. The wording of CR is important here. "Creatures you control have...." means CR is basically putting that ability on your creatures.
On the flip side something like Springleaf Drum doesn't care if the creature has summoning sickness because the creature is getting tapped as part of a cost and not as part of an activation of its own ability. An odd distinction but important.
MarkerD says... Accepted answer #1
As long as they don't have summoning sickness yes you can tap them and sac them
