Nissas chosen

[Shamona58]

Dose nissas chosen need to be able to go to the graveyard for its ability to work.  Example if I have rest in peace in play and nissas chosen dies does it go to the bottom of the library even though it can't go to the graveyard ?

 {Nissa's Chosen}

[Paraluke]

 {Rest in Peace} has a replacement effect which would exile cards instead of cards going into graveyard.

"Dies" means this creature is put into a graveyard from the battlefield. So with RIP around, "die-ing" triggers won't happen.

[Kaleo42]

You choose. There are two simotanious replacement effects affecting the same action ak the controller of the affected object choses which to apply.

[Paraluke]

Apologies, didn't read it carefully. Kaleo is right

[Giggle the Draco Genius]

I think this has come up before how does it happen if the opponent has the {rest in peace} is it still APNAP order?

[Kaleo42]

See thats what I used to think but that only applies to the stack. Actually the controller of the object effect makes the choice.

[Mattao19]

I'm curious now can someone get a ruling or something. Say my opponent has the {Rest in Peace} and I have  {Nissa's Chosen} and say they  {Doom Blade} my chosen what happens?

[Kaleo42]

If you have chossen then you pick. Ill grav the ruling.


400.6.: If an object would move from one zone to another, determine what event is moving the object. If the object is moving to a public zone, all players look at it to see if it has any abilities that would affect the move. Then any appropriate replacement effects, whether they come from that object or from elsewhere, are applied to that event. If any effects or rules try to do two or more contradictory or mutually exclusive things to a particular object, that object's controller -- or its owner if it has no controller -- chooses which effect to apply, and what that effect does. (Note that multiple instances of the same thing may be mutually exclusive; for example, two simultaneous "destroy" effects.) Then the event moves the object.
