Flying, vigilance
{T}: When target creature other than Adarkar Valkyrie is put into a graveyard this turn, return that card to the battlefield under your control.1

Illus. Jeremy Jarvis

- 7/15/2006: Adarkar Valkyrie's ability can target a token creature, but since token creatures cease to exist when they leave the battlefield, it won't be returned to the battlefield.

Snow Enchantment, 2W (3)
Cumulative upkeep {S} (At the beginning of your upkeep, put an age counter on this permanent, then sacrifice it unless you pay its upkeep cost for each age counter on it. {S} can be paid with one mana from a snow permanent.)
If a creature would deal combat damage to you and/or one or more creatures you control, prevent X of that damage, where X is the number of age counters on Cover of Winter.
{S}: Put an age counter on Cover of Winter.1
Illus. Wayne Reynolds
Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 7/15/2006: Cover of Winter's replacement effect prevents combat damage creatures would deal to you and to attacking or blocking creatures you control.
- 7/15/2006: If multiple creatures would deal combat damage to you and your creatures at the same time, this prevents X of the damage that would be dealt by each of them. This prevention is applied creature by creature. For example, if Cover of Winter has two age counters and you're being attacked by an unblocked 1/1 and an unblocked 4/4, this will prevent 2 of the combat damage that would be dealt by each one. All damage from the 1/1 is prevented and 2 damage from the 4/4 is prevented, meaning you're dealt 2 damage.
- 7/15/2006: If a creature has double strike, Cover of Winter prevents X of the combat damage it would deal during each combat damage step.
- 7/15/2006: If a creature's combat damage is assigned to multiple recipients (for example, if it has trample and is blocked by two creatures, and damage is assigned to each of those creatures and to you), you decide how to divide the prevention effect. You may prevent damage that would be dealt to the first creature, the second creature, and/or you, as long as the total amount of that creature's damage that would be prevented is X.

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
- 10/1/2008: Paying cumulative upkeep is always optional. If it's not paid, the permanent with cumulative upkeep is sacrificed. Partial payments of the total cumulative upkeep cost can't be made. For example, if a permanent with "cumulative upkeep {1}" has three age counters on it when its cumulative upkeep ability triggers, it gets another age counter and then its controller chooses to either pay {4} or sacrifice the permanent.

Gatherer Card Rulings [Nov 2009]
