Magnanimous Magistrate
{5}{W}
Creature — Human Advisor
Oracle Text
This creature enters with five reprieve counters on it.
Whenever another nontoken creature you control dies, if its mana value was 1 or greater, you may remove that many reprieve counters from this creature. If you do, return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control.
Watch Out
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.
