Shilgengar, Sire of Famine Rulings
- Jan 24, 2025 If an effect refers to a Blood token, it means any artifact token with the subtype Blood, even if it has gained other subtypes.
- Jan 24, 2025 Some triggered abilities trigger "whenever you sacrifice a Blood token." These abilities trigger regardless of why you sacrificed that Blood token.
- Jan 24, 2025 You can't sacrifice a Blood token to pay multiple costs.
- Jun 7, 2024 Finality counters aren't keyword counters, and a finality counter doesn't give any abilities to the permanent it's on. If that permanent loses its abilities and then would go to a graveyard, it will still be exiled instead.
- Jun 7, 2024 Finality counters don't stop permanents from going to zones other than the graveyard from the battlefield. For example, if a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into its owner's hand from the battlefield, it does so normally.
