Title: G&G and Gravecrawler.
Post by: redwolv on August 04, 2016, 03:55:24 PM
{Gisa and geralf}. If I cast {Gravecrawler} from my graveyard. Can I still use G&G to summon another zombie?  Opp the other night said that even though Gravecrawler can bring himself back. Because I already cast one zombie G&G has been used up for that turn.

i guess it would be better if you summon a zombie from graveyard first before you put gravecrawler back, since you need another zombie to play it

As per the release notes, he's wrong, or you misplayed.

"If multiple effects allow you to cast a Zombie creature card from your graveyard, such as those of Gisa and Geralf and Karador, Ghost Chieftain, you must announce which permission you're using as you begin to cast the spell."

In other words, if you announce you are casting crawler, you must specify what method you use. Then again, if there was no other zombie, then G&G would be the only legal way, using up it's ability.

There had been other zombies on the field. Seems I was right and he was just misinformed. Thanks
