Karn, Silver Golem and Lifeline interactions

Asked by bushido_man96 6 years ago

I had asked about interactions between Karn, Silver Golem's second ability and Cauldron of Souls, and now I have a similar question, in regards to how Karn interacts with Lifeline.

If I turn an artifact into an artifact creature with Karn's second ability, and I have Lifeline in play and I sacrifice the now artifact creature for some effect or it dies, will it return to play at the end of the turn with Lifeline's ability?

If not, can someone please explain why? Thank you for the help.

It will. This is because when an ability tries to reference an object that's no longer on the battlefield, it uses its Last Known Information. In this case, your artifact (at the time it left, an artifact creature) is still a creature to the game and will be returned with Lifeline's ability
