Shepherd of Rot

Rules Clarification

New 10 Jun 2023 Asked by the7thbobba-blog 24 Comments

Hi Mark. Thank you so much for answering my last question! I've got another UN-question for another crazy build: with Over My Dead Bodies in play, once blockers and attackers have been declared, would the creatures in the graveyards count towards the amount of life lost, if I activate Shepherd of Rot, since they are treated as being in play?



The graveyard creatures can attack and block “as if they were on the battlefield”, but they’re never actually on the battlefield, so effects counting things in the battlefield don’t count them.
