Does Stalking Vengeance trigger with tokens being sacrificed? How about Undying?

Asked by Monsmtg 9 years ago

I have a Feldon of the Third Path commander deck, and I was deciding if I should stalking vengeance. I want to be sure that it's ability would be triggered if Feldon reanimated a creature with it on the battlefield.

Please link all cards in your question.
Feldon of the Third Path
Stalking Vengeance

"Dies" just means "is put into the graveyard from the battlefield." Anything that causes a creature to move from the battlefield to the graveyard causes that creature to die. This includes sacrifice.

Undying triggers when a creature dies, so the creature must necessarily die in order for undying to work.

Note also that Feldon of the Third Path doesn't reanimate anything. Rather, it creates a token copy of the target card. The tokens can die, but they will not return to the battlefield with undying because they will cease to exist as a state-based action when they're in another zone (additionally, tokens cannot change zones twice; if they leave the battlefield, they remain in their new zone until they cease to exist).
