Interaction between Patchwork Crawler and Jin-Gitaxias Flip
Asked by CamraMaan 1 year ago
Sorry if this is a silly question, but... it's a weird interaction. So Jin-Gitaxias Flip gets exiled from my grave with Patchwork Crawler, gaining its activated ability... what happens when I pay the four mana and activate it...?
I had a feeling it wouldn't turn out well. Thank you!

Because it's in the same deck, what if I exile Tekuthal, Inquiry Dominus from my grave with Patchwork Crawler, and try to use Tekuthal's activated ability...? I'm assuming the name in the card text will change to Patchwork Crawler, so I can put an indestructible counter on it?

To the follow-up question: yes, that's how it works. When an object's ability uses its own name in the text without specifically saying something like "[an object] named [N]" then it carries a meaning of "this object" that will also transfer to other things that gain the ability from it. The ability on Patchwork Crawler will say "...: Put an indestructible counter on Patchwork Crawler".

Patchwork Crawler will exile itself and then will remain in exile since it's unable to return transformed.
