Field of the Dead

Wizards of the Coast 12 Jul 2019

If multiple lands enter the battlefield simultaneously, possibly including Field of the Dead itself, all of those lands are counted. For example, if you sacrifice eight lands while resolving Scapeshift and search your library for five different basic land cards, two Field of the Dead cards, and one other land card with a different name, you'll create sixteen Zombie tokens.

Wizards of the Coast 12 Jul 2019

If you control multiple lands with the same name, only one of those lands will count toward the seven or more required to create a Zombie. For example, if you control four lands named Plains, two named Island, and one named Field of the Dead, you control three lands with different names.

Wizards of the Coast 12 Jul 2019

Field of the Dead's last ability counts itself and the land entering the battlefield in addition to whichever other lands you control.

Puresteel Paladin

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

Once the equip {0} ability is activated, causing Puresteel Paladin to leave the battlefield or causing its controller to control fewer than three artifacts won't stop the equip ability from resolving.

Wizards of the Coast 7 Aug 2020

You may still activate the Equipment's other equip abilities if you wish.

Varina, Lich Queen

Wizards of the Coast 13 Jul 2018

Varina's first ability counts the number of Zombies you attacked with, even if some of those Zombies leave combat before the triggered ability resolves.

Wizards of the Coast 13 Jul 2018

The number of cards you discard and the amount of life you gain are both equal to the number of Zombies you attack with, even if you draw a different number of cards somehow.

Zombie Apocalypse

Wizards of the Coast 22 Jan 2011

All Humans are destroyed, not just ones you control.

Wizards of the Coast 22 Jan 2011

If a creature card in your graveyard is both a Zombie and a Human, it will be returned to the battlefield tapped, then be destroyed.
