| 808.1.b.1. |
[Effect] is the rules text for the specific instance of Deathknell. This is referred to as the Deathknell effect. |
| 808.1.c. |
It is functionally short for "When I die, [Effect]." |
| 808.1.c.1. |
[Effect] is the rules text of the Deathknell effect. |
| 808.1.d. |
The Trigger for this and similar effects that trigger on their source’s death is the Permanent being Killed and sent to the Trash. |
| 808.1.d.1. |
If the Permanent with the effect is not sent to the Trash, for example because its "killed" event was replaced with a recall, the triggered ability will be removed from the chain. |
|
Example: Draven, Audacious is killed in combat. Draven reads in part “When I die in combat, choose an opponent. They gain 1 point.” Draven’s controller has a Zhonya’s Hourglass in base. Draven’s death is replaced by him being healed, recalled, and exhausted. Draven’s triggered ability will be removed from the chain. |
|
| 808.1.d.2. |
The trigger will be added to the chain as a Pending Item before the card with an ability that triggers on its own death is moved to the trash due to a Kill instruction or a Cleanup. |
