how does Necratog's ability work?

Asked by birabu 13 years ago

necratog card says exactly "remove the top creature card in your graveyard from the game: +2/+2 until end of turn" that mean i can only use this ability if i have a creature card exactly on top of it?

Correct. Here are the rulings on Necratog :

4/1/2008: The top card of your graveyard is the card that was put there most recently.

4/1/2008: Players may not rearrange the cards in their graveyards. This is a little-known rule because new cards that care about graveyard order havent been printed in years.

4/1/2008: If an effect or rule puts two or more cards into the same graveyard at the same time, the owner of those cards may arrange them in any order.

4/1/2008: The last thing that happens to a resolving instant or sorcery spell is that its put into its owners graveyard. --Example: You cast Wrath of God. All creatures on the battlefield are destroyed. You arrange all the cards put into your graveyard this way in any order you want. The other players in the game do the same to the cards that are put into their graveyards. Then you put Wrath of God into your graveyard, on top of the other cards.

4/1/2008: Say youre the owner of both a permanent and an Aura thats attached to it. If both the permanent and the Aura are destroyed at the same time (by Akromas Vengeance, for example), you decide the order theyre put into your graveyard. If just the enchanted permanent is destroyed, its put into your graveyard first. Then, after state-based actions are checked, the Aura (which is no longer attached to anything) is put into your graveyard on top of it.
