Pyrrhic Revival

Sorcery, 3{W/B}{W/B}{W/B} (6)
Each player returns each creature card in his or her graveyard to the battlefield with an additional -1/-1 counter on it.1
They found themselves alive again, still bearing their mortal wounds.
Illus. Richard Kane Ferguson

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]

  • 8/1/2008: Pyrrhic Revival can cause creatures to be put onto the battlefield that have 0 toughness due to the -1/-1 counter from this effect. Those creatures are put right back into their owners' graveyards as a state-based action. No spells or abilities that would remove counters or otherwise affect those creatures can be cast or activated before that happens. Still, the creatures did momentarily pop onto the battlefield, so any relevant triggered abilities (including their own enters-the-battlefield or leaves-the-battlefield abilities) will trigger. They'll be put on the stack after state-based actions are checked.
