Does Feather work with reanimation?

Asked by Max_Hammer 1 year ago

If I have Feather, the Redeemed (a pet card of mine, which I will use until the end of time) and cast a reanimation spell such as Resurrection or Invoke Justice targeting Storm Crow, I get Storm Crow back and all that, but does Feather, the Redeemed trigger putting Resurrection back into my hand on my end step, or does it just go to grave?

Pretty sure it just goes to grave as normal, since Feather, the Redeemed wants me to target a creature I control, and I don't control it in the grave, but I figured I'd ask because Boros Reanimator sounds fun and that one elephant from Strixhaven isn't a badass battle angel.

No, this doesn't work, and it's for the reason you think. Players only "control" objects on the stack or battlefield, and if an effect uses the name of a permanent type without also specifying "spell" or "card" that means it's only referring to a permanent of that type on the battlefield.

The Resurrection would be put into the graveyard and won't be returned to your hand. A "creature card in your graveyard" isn't a "creature you control"-- you only control what's on the battlefield, and a "creature card" isn't the same thing as a "creature."
