Let's say I have skullbriar, the walking grave, and Reyhan, last of the abzan on the battlefield. Someone murders my skullbriar that has theee +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies, and I decide to put it in the command zone, will I have two triggers from Reyhan to put a total of six +1/+1 counters on a target creature from the skullbriar touching the graveyard and for it going to the command zone?
Moving a card from the graveyard to the command zone won't trigger Rayhan's ability. It might have been a creature card in the graveyard, but it wasn't a creature, nor did you control it at that time.
109.2. If a spell or ability uses a description of an object that includes a card type or subtype, but
doesn’t include the word “card,” “spell,” “source,” or “scheme,” it means a permanent of that card
type or subtype on the battlefield.
109.2a If a spell or ability uses a description of an object that includes the word “card” and the
name of a zone, it means a card matching that description in the stated zone.
109.2b If a spell or ability uses a description of an object that includes the word “spell,” it means a
spell matching that description on the stack.
109.2c If a spell or ability uses a description of an object that includes the word “source,” it means a
source matching that description—a source of an ability, of damage, or of mana—in any zone.
See rules 113.7 and 609.7.
109.2d If an ability of a scheme card includes the text “this scheme,” it means the scheme card in
the command zone on which that ability is printed.
109.4. Only objects on the stack or on the battlefield have a controller. Objects that are neither on the
stack nor on the battlefield aren’t controlled by any player. See rule 108.4. There are six exceptions
to this rule:
