Havengul lich + Rooftop Storm + Sidisi, Undead Vizier = ???

Asked by D2Vincent 9 years ago

Alright so lemme set up the picture here, I'm using my Grixis Zombie/Proliferation deck (The Phyrexian Undead), and I have Rooftop Storm out as well as Havengul Lich. I play Sidisi, Undead Vizier and have it exploit iself, and then I pay 1 to let me bring back Sidisi back out for free and repeat the process. Now, do I have to pay 1 every time because of the Havengul Lich, or can I infinitely cast Sidisi out of my graveyard for free?

Rooftop Storm, Havengul Lich, Sidisi, Undead Vizier

Whenever a creature moves zones, it has no memory of its previous existence.

Short answer: You will have to pay 1 mana per time you wish to cast it.

Long story: Once you cast the creature card, it will no longer be in your graveyard. Even if the card itself is sent back to the graveyard, it will be a new object and therefore not the same card you targeted initially. Meaning it will once again have to be targeted by Havengul Lich's ability.

EDIT: Whenever any Card moves zones, it has no memory of its previous existence. This is not limited to only creature cards.
