Tomb Tyrant interaction with ground seal.

Asked by Dray119 3 years ago

Let's say I have a Tomb Tyrant in play, a 2/2 zombie token in the battlefield with 5 zombies in the graveyard during my turn to meet the conditions of his ability. My opponent has a Ground Seal in play.

My question is about Tomb Tyrant and their tap ability. It says to "return a zombie creature card at random from the graveyard to the battlefield". Ground Seal says "cards in graveyards can't be the targets of spells or abilities".

So would I be able to do my Tyrant's ability since it doesn't say "target" in the ability at all and it is a random effect?

That is correct, things in Magic do not target unless they specifically use the word "target".
