Zombie Apocalypse and Screeching Skaab
Asked by parasitian 13 years ago
So say someone casts Zombie Apocalypse and returns to the battlefield a Screeching Skaab and that player targets himself with the Screeching Skaab etb trigger, thus adding two more cards to the graveyard, my question is: If any of those cards that get milled are zombies, would they get returned to the battlefield also? I'm pretty sure it wouldn't occur, but I want to make sure.
To clarify, this is what happens:
Zombie Apocalypse is cast and resolves - All zombies are returned to play, including your Screeching Skaab. All humans are immediately destroyed after this. Zombie Apocalypse is put into the graveyard.
Screeching Skaab enters play and its ability is put on the stack. When it resolves, you can mill but Zombie Apocalypse is long gone.

So, just to make sure that I know how this card works, say I have a Skaab Ruinator in my graveyard, and several other zombies in there, Zombie Apocalypse will completely resolve, clearing my graveyard of all zombies. If I have no other creatures in my graveyard (and no self-milling abilities trigger that would put more fodder in the grave), then Skaab Ruinator will return to the graveyard after ZA resolves because it's "enters the battlefield" trigger will occur after all other zombies are on the battlefield, and of course, after all humans are destroyed, and since I have no creatures to exile to it then it cannot stay in play?

Skaab Ruinator will stay in play. When it says "additional cost" it means when you cast it, Zombie Apocalypse doesn't cast anything it just returns them to play

No, sadly they do not.
