Rest in Peace

Would {Rest in peace} + {grindclock} cause infinite mill?

No.

Would {rest in peace} stop morbid?

I don't see how it would create infinite mill. And no, since morbid checks if a creature died. NOT if it went to the graveyard. Simply that it died

Double-O-Scotch · January 07, 2013, 07:59:44 AM

No, the creature still died, regardless.

Magic is a very literal game, remember

Rest in Peace does stop morbid, because the definition of "dies" in MtG is "a creature being sent from the battlefield to the graveyard".

With Rest in Peace on the field, it is the same as if they got {Path to Exile}d.

Damn.

An easy way to wrap your mind around the token thing is just to remember that tokens are removed from the game as a result of changing zones, not leaving a zone. Which means that merely a token leaving the battlefield doesn't qualify. It must leave the battlefield AND enter the graveyard. Now it makes more sense that they trigger death triggers.
