Tombstone Stairwell Rulings
- Oct 1, 2008 This has the supertype world. When a world permanent enters, any world permanents that were already on the battlefield are put into their owners' graveyards. This is a state-based action called the "world rule." The new world permanent stays on the battlefield. If two world permanents enter at the same time, they're both put into their owners' graveyards.
- Oct 4, 2004 All the tokens are put onto the battlefield simultaneously.
- Oct 4, 2004 Both the cumulative upkeep and the triggered ability trigger at the beginning of upkeep, so you can choose what order they resolve.
- Oct 4, 2004 Does not put the Zombies onto the battlefield if this card is not still on the battlefield when its ability resolves.
- Oct 4, 2004 If something changes the names of the tokens, then the "at end of turn" ability will still destroy them.
