Victimize card rule.

Asked by Gzuis 8 years ago

Victimize say ''return'' the chosen cards to the battlefield tapped so those cards had to have entered the battlefield? or being in the graveyard from any source already count?

The text is just making the assumption that they entered the grave from the battlefield and using language that sounds smoother than "put them into play" (which older versions of the card actually say). This won't affect what you can actually get as long as it's any two creatures in your graveyard at the time of casting.

The word "return" doesn't have any special rules meaning in terms of what zones the cards have actually been to. It's just used in this way because 99% of the time, a creature in a graveyard got there because it was on the battlefield and then died. You're allowed to use Victimize on creature cards in the graveyard whether they got there from the battlefield, your hand, your library, whatever.
