Hello friends,
In the past I usually came here when I needed to find answers to some fiddle rules. This time I couldn't find anything so I've decided to ask myself.
I'm building a new commander deck with Myrkul, Lord of Bones, but I have some doubts about abilities of creatures when they stop to be so.
[1] What happen when a creature with Devour enters the battlefield without its card's types? Devour says specifically: "As this object enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. This permanent enters the battlefield with N +1/+1 counters on it for each creature sacrificed this way".
If I have Mycoloth and I create a token with Myrkul, Lord of Bones, will I be able to sacrifice creatures to put counters on it? I'm asking cause the card specifically says "This CREATURE enters the battlefield with twice that many ecc.." but it's not a creature anymore.
[2] Breathkeeper Seraph: This card shouldn't work, since if I exile the card with Myrkul, Lord of Bones, it leaves the zone that its trigger ability refers and so it becomes a sort of new object, making the trigger ability lose its target. Or will I be able to bring it back from exile with its late trigger?
For now, thank you for listening to me and, more important, thank you for all these years where I was able to find answers in this nice community.
1. Yes. Note that reminder text has no game function under the rules (C.R. 207.2, 207.2a). See also C.R. 700.7.
2. The words "it" and "its", where they appear on the ability granted to a creature by Breathkeeper Seraph, mean the card the creature becomes in the graveyard (C.R. 400.7e). Once it leaves the graveyard by any means, including by Myrkul's second ability, the ability can no longer return that card to the battlefield (C.R. 400.7, 400.7e, 400.2).
