Creature - Horror 2/6, 3BB (5)
Whenever Abomination blocks or becomes blocked by a green or white creature, destroy that creature at end of combat.1
Illus. Mark Tedin
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 10/4/2004: The color of the blocking/blocked creature is checked only at declaration of the block. If the creature is indeed green or white at that time, it will be destroyed at the end of the combat even if it changes color before the combat ends.

Enchantment - Aura, 1B (2)
Enchant creature card in a graveyard
When Animate Dead enters the battlefield, if it's on the battlefield, it loses "enchant creature card in a graveyard" and gains "enchant creature put onto the battlefield with Animate Dead." Return enchanted creature card to the battlefield under your control and attach Animate Dead to it. When Animate Dead leaves the battlefield, that creature's controller sacrifices it.
Enchanted creature gets -1/-0.1
Illus. Anson Maddocks
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 10/4/2004: When putting a card onto the battlefield that requires a definition for its value or some other choice, you do what is needed to define the value or make the choice.
- 9/16/2007: This is a new wording. Animate Dead is now an Aura. You target a creature card in a graveyard when you cast it. It enters the battlefield attached to that card. Then it returns that card to the battlefield, and attaches itself to that card again (since the card is treated as a new object on the battlefield).
- 9/16/2007: Once the creature is returned to the battlefield, Animate Dead can't be attached to anything other than it (unless Animate Dead somehow manages to put a different creature onto the battlefield). Attempting to move Animate Dead to another creature won't work.
- 4/1/2008: If the creature card put onto the battlefield has Protection from Black (or anything that prevents this from legally being attached), this won’t be able to attach to it. Then this will go to the graveyard as a State-Based Action, causing the creature to be sacrificed. This is a change from recent functionality.
- 4/1/2008: A "creature card" is any card with the type Creature, even if it has other types such as Artifact, Enchantment, or Land. Older cards of type Summon are also Creature cards.

Battle doesn't need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don't ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don't ask why I fight.

Creature - Zombie 2/1, 1B (2)
When Cyclopean Mummy is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile Cyclopean Mummy.1
The ritual of plucking out an eye to gain future sight is but a curse that enables the living to see their own deaths.
Illus. Edward P. Beard, Jr.
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 10/4/2004: The Mummy does go to the graveyard and trigger abilities which watch for something going to the graveyard. It then gets exiled as a triggered ability.
- 10/4/2004: It does not get exiled if it goes to the graveyard from someplace other than the battlefield. This includes discarding from your hand or if the spell is countered.

{B}: Regenerate Drudge Skeletons. (The next time this creature would be destroyed this turn, it isn't. Instead tap it, remove all damage from it, and remove it from combat.)1
Bones scattered around us joined to form misshapen bodies. We struck at them repeatedly-they fell, but soon formed again, with the same mocking look on their faceless skulls.
