Does the undying effect (for example Butcher Ghoul) work with library to graveyard effects like burried alive?

Asked by robotio 11 years ago

So I'm building the deck MODERN 25$ B/R undying sacrifice combo! right now and I saw burried alive in a gameplay and I thought it maybe could work as an insane creature search.

It only "dies" if it goes from the battlefield to the graveyard.

From your hand or library, it isn't dying.

No, in MTG, "dies" is short for enters the graveyard from the battlefield. Putting a card into the graveyard from your hand or library does not count as that card "dying".

Make sure to choose an answer so the question doesn't keep coming up as unanswered.
