Rulings

Apr 26, 2014

If the creature card leaves the graveyard in response to Ritual of the Returned, Ritual of the Returned won’t resolve and none of its effects will happen. You won’t get a Zombie token.

Apr 26, 2014

Use the creature card’s power and toughness as it last existed in the graveyard to determine the power and toughness of the Zombie token.
