IA(R) |
Text(IA+errata):Play with your hand revealed. ; If you would draw a card,
reveal it instead. If it's a creature card, put it into your graveyard.
Otherwise draw it. ; If a creature would be put into your graveyard from
play, put that creature into your hand instead. [Oracle 2003/02/01]
A creature card is a card of type Creature or Artifact Creature.
[D'Angelo 2000/03/09] Older cards of type Summon also count.
Token creatures are removed from the game if they leave play, so this effect
will not let you get them in your hand. [D'Angelo 1994/06/08]
Both the "draw a creature" ability and the "goes to the graveyard" ability
generate replacement effects (see Rule T.10). [D'Angelo 2000/03/09]
You can use Resurrection or Safe Haven to get creatures into play.
[D'Angelo 1995/06/14] This is because the creatures come to your hand or
into play in some way that is not considered a "draw". Enduring Renewal
only affects creatures that are "drawn".
If you Animate Dead a creature and then the Animate is removed, the
creature goes to your hand. [D'Angelo 1995/06/14]
If the creature is only a creature due to an effect, it still comes to your
hand. [Duelist Magazine #7, Page 9] This includes Mishra's Factory,
Titania's Song, and any other way to animate a card.
The "If a creature..." replacement ability only works on creatures going
to your graveyard from play. [D'Angelo 2001/08/31] This is built on
the distinction between being a "creature" (which is only true in play)
and being a "creature card" which can be true in any zone.
