Does Athreos, God of Passage activate when a manifest land dies?

Asked by Randomguyism 10 years ago

If I have Athreos, God of Passage and 2 manifests, a creature and a land card, and the manifests die in combat will Athreos, God of Passage activate for both?

As the manifest lands are creatures at the time they die yes your God of passage will trigger

Link all cards in your question. There's a formatting guide at the bottom of the page.
Athreos, God of Passage

Athreos, God of Passage's ability is a triggered ability. It triggers, but it can't be activated.

Athreos, God of Passage's ability triggers whenever a creature you own dies. Therefore, the ability checks the permanent's qualities before it changes zones, and it triggers if the permanent (1) was a creature on the battlefield and (2) moved from the battlefield to the graveyard. Therefore, it will trigger for manifested or morphed creatures, even if those cards aren't creature cards.
