if i use mirage mirror to copy a relentless dead ....and it later in the turn dies.....is it still a relentless dead when it hits the graveyard and the recursion abilities still able to be activated? or is it just a mirage mirror when it goes to the graveyard?
so in essence.....can i copy a relentless dead with my mirage mirror and bring back creatures and/or itself in my graveyard when it dies?
Mirage Mirror acts exactly like a Relentless Dead would when it dies so you will have a chance to pay B to return it to your hand and pay X to return another target zombie from your GY to the battlefield.
is it still a relentless dead when it hits the graveyard
To be precise: Mirage Mirror isn't still a copy of Relentless Dead while it's in the graveyard... but that doesn't matter. Abilities that trigger when something leaves the battlefield* look at the object that was on the battlefield, not the one it became in the new zone. Since the Mirror was a Relentless Dead at the point just before it died, you'll get the triggers.
*One notable disclaimer: There are things that look like a leaves-the-battlefield trigger but aren't, such as Emrakul, the Aeons Torn's "is put into a graveyard from anywhere" trigger. Since this one doesn't specify that it has to come from the battlefield, it isn't a leaves-the-battlefield trigger.
