Diregraf Colossus Zombie Trigger

Asked by ZombieTribalFTW 6 years ago

When I play Diregraf Colossus does its' ability give me an additional 3 zombie creature tokens because I "casted" the tokens from Stir the Sands or do I just get the three from said card?

With a Diregraf Colossus on the field, casting your Stir the Sands will get you 3 zombies, the 3 made from Stir the Sands.
You don't cast the zombies, you has the spell 'Stir the Sands'. In order do trigger the ability from Diregraf Colossus, you must cast a card with the 'Zombie' subtype, IE. a Zombie creature like Gravecrawler (notable that when you cast Gravecrawler from the graveyard, it counts as 'casting'), another example is something like Nameless Inversion, which has the characteristic 'Changeling', which means it is all creature types, including 'Zombie'. This would be a spell that would trigger Diregraf Colossus's ability.

Alright, thanks for the help, I am building a zombie deck and had a feeling it was too overpowered to be true.
