  • posted a message on Reanimate, Animate dead + Gods
    What happens when you use Animate Dead or Reanimate on one fo the new Gods from Theors, for example Erebos, God fo the Dead. I know these are 2 different questions, but they seem so related I think 1 thread is justified.

    In the case of Anime Dead, if I have less than 5 devotion, what happens? If I have less than 5 devotion, when the god comes into play, it will then become a non-creature enchantment through a state based action. This will make it a nonlegal target for animate dead, which will then go to the graveyard. My question is, because animate dead is phrased "When Animate Dead leaves the battlefield, that creature's controller sacrifices it.", if the god I brought back with animate dead is not a creature, does the 'that creatures controller sacrifices it' clause effect me, considering there is no creature on the battlefield that was brought back with animate dead at the time that animate dead goes to the graveyard?

    In the case of Reanimate, assuming I have less than 5 devotion, do I still lose life?

    It took several years for the people at like fnm's and such to consider me a 'respectable player', but that was only because I like to play troll.dec, so I always ran things like turbo fog or time sieve, so the problem lies in the word 'respectable' lol.

    I think I became knowledgeable enough to consider myself knowledgeable after a year or two of playing in events and fnm's. Though I've got to say, the best way I found to learn to play magic is to play casual with competitive players. Casual with casual players is good, but sometimes doesnt prepare you fro tournaments. Competitive play with competative players is fun, but not the best learning method. But casual with competative players gives you the best of both, you get good players with top of the line decks to practice with, without having to wrry that youll get a game loss for accidentally drawing during upkeep or something stupid like that.
