If you are talking about a card like Zombify, then this is 'cast' when you pay its mana cost and put it on the stack. On resolution, the target creature will be placed on the battlefield. Only Zombify is being cast, the creature itself is not being cast, so a card that only counters creature spells could not be used here.

If you are talking about an ability of a card, then this is never counted as a spell, it is not 'cast', nor is the target creature counted as being cast either. Only ability negation cards can be used (such as Stifle).

What happens to ekibyo drakmord if equipped to the opponents monster that is used as a stack in an XYZ Summon?

XYZ material monsters no longer count as being monsters on the field, any equip cards will fall off, they will go to the graveyard. Ekibyo Drakmord can only return to hand when it destroys the monster it equips. In this case it will simply go to the graveyard and can't return, it went there as its equip target became an invalid one.


Can Beetron revive the target of Call of the Haunted if it had sent that trap card to the graveyard in Yu-Gi-Oh?

Yes, that is allowed. The reason is, that costs are paid before targets are selected. If you pay the cost using a Call of the Haunted, the monster it had summoned will go to the graveyard immediately. That means it is there in the graveyard at the time when you select the effect's target, so is a valid choice. This ruling first came from Zombie Master and other monsters that can send a monster to the graveyard as a cost and then target it for the effect.


Can you counter a creature with a card that reads counter target spell?

If a card's not a land, then it's a spell - a creature on the stack waiting to resolve is a 'creature spell', for example. You can use a 'counter target spell' card against creature spells, instants, artifact spells, etc, the only things you can't use it on are lands, or activated abilities.


Is a Tribute considered 'sent to the Graveyard' in Yu-Gi-Oh?

Any movement of a card from another zone to the graveyard, is a send. 'Tribute', 'Discard' and 'Destroy' are specific kinds of send. XYZ material is 'sent to the graveyard' if the XYZ monster that overlays them is destroyed, removed from play, returned to the Extra Deck, etc.One exception is cards that have been removed from the game. They can be 'returned' to the graveyard, but not 'sent' from there.


When a monster equipped with premature burial is destroyed does the equipped spell card get destroyed too?

Yes, Equip Spell Cards cannot exist on the field without their target. If the target leaves the field, the Equip Spell Card will be destroyed and go to the graveyard.

How can you bring back artifacts back from the graveyard in magic the gathering?

Tokens go to whichever zone, and then immediately cease to exist. So while cards which say "when a creature goes to the graveyard" will trigger when tokens go there, the tokens themselves do not stay in the graveyard, they just disappear. So no, they are not there for other abilities to bring back to the battlefield.


Can a planeswalker be returned from the graveyar in mtg?

Yes. Any card that says " Return target card from your graveyard to your hand." can be used to target a planeswalker. (Example: Regrowth) However, no card exists that can return a planeswalker from a graveyard to play that I know of. It would have to be worded "return target (permanent/non-land permanent) from (a/your) graveyard to play" Hope this helps


Is return target enchantment card from your graveyard to the battlefield exclusive to your side of the battlefield?

Because you control the spell/ability, the card you place on the field is also under your control by default- so therefore, is on your side of the battlefield. You cannot place it under your opponent's control unless the spell or ability specifically instructs you to do so.

What does enchantment - auras mean in magic the gathering?

Aura is a subtype of enchantments and dictates that enchantment is placed on whatever is defined in the rules text of that card; for example if the card said 'Enchant creature' it would come into play enchanting whichever target creature was declared when it was cast. Creatures are not the only thing that can be enchanted, certain cards enchant lands, artifacts and even players, there is even an oddball aura that enchants a card in your graveyard. If the target of that aura is removed before the spell resolves, the aura has no legal targets to enchant and will 'fizzle', if the aura's target is removed after it has been enchanted, the aura is destroyed as well as a state based effect.

Magic the Gathering Can a creature with shroud be affected by instants?

A creature with shroud cannot be targeted by instants, sorceries, or any other spells or abilities that target. However instants such as Evacuation will affect the creature because the spell does not target.


In magic the gathering does the target creature have to be tapped in order to play blind with anger?

No, note it says 'Untap target nonlegendary creature", not "Untap target tapped nonlegendary creature." Most of the spells that steal control like this, will allow you to untap the creature if it's tapped. But they're all still fine to be used against creatures that are originally untapped too.


Can you activate Laval Volcano Handmaiden's effect if Molten Conduction Field sent it and a Laval monster to the graveyard before a Laval monster was in your graveyard in Yu-Gi-Ob?

After Molten Conduction Field resolves, Laval Volcano Handmaiden's trigger condition has been met. Since there's a valid target in the graveyard, she's allowed to activate and target it.


How does the Magic the Gathering Card Mercy Killing work do you target a creature belonging to the controller or target the controller and they choose a creature?

Mercy Killing targets one creature, and the creature's controller sacrifices it when Mercy Killing resolves. That player then gets some Elf tokens, as outlined on the rest of the card.
