Lazav, the Multifarious dying while copying Puppeteer Clique

Asked by pedroedmarcos 4 years ago

Hey there,

If Lazav is copying Puppeteer Clique which is in the graveyard, and somehow is destroyed. Will he come back withe ther Persist ability ? Will he comeback as Lazav or as Puppeteer Clique ???

Provided Lazav doesn't have a -1 counter already, Lazav will come back as themself.

Lazav has the Persist ability from Puppeteer Clique, so then they die, there will be a Persist trigger since Lazav had the persist ability up until death. Lazav will get brought back, but the effect that made them a copy of the Clique doesn't affect Lazav because it affects the old Lazav (a permanent entering and leaving the battlefield will create new "objects"). Since the new Lazav is a new object, they don't have anything affecting them.

Hope this helps!!
