Covetous Castaway

{1}{U}

Creature — Human

When this creature dies, mill three cards. (Put the top three cards of your library into your graveyard.)

Disturb {3}{U}{U} (You may cast this card from your graveyard transformed for its disturb cost.)

Ghostly Castigator

Creature — Spirit

Flying

When this creature enters, you may shuffle up to three target cards from your graveyard into your library.

If Ghostly Castigator would be put into a graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead.

Watch Out

Replacement effect, not an ETB triggerWatch Out

This card uses a replacement effect ('as [it] enters' or 'enters with') to modify how the permanent enters. This is NOT a triggered ability — it can't be responded to, and effects like Panharmonicon or Torpor Orb don't affect it.

ETB trigger, not a cast triggerRules Note

This card's ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, not when it's cast. Effects that double ETB triggers (like Panharmonicon) work here. Countering the spell prevents the creature from entering, so the ETB won't fire.

Exile prevents dies triggersRules Note

'Dies' means 'put into a graveyard from the battlefield.' If a creature is exiled instead of dying (Swords to Plowshares, Rest in Peace), dies triggers won't fire. Tokens do trigger 'dies' abilities briefly before ceasing to exist.
