Necromancy + Clever Impersonator
Asked by Emzed 9 years ago
If i cast Necromancy and return Clever Impersonator to the battlefield, i can choose to copy Necromancy with the Impersonator. So, my Impersonator enters the battlefield as a copy of Necromancy, not as a creature. What happens to my Necromancy then? Is it going to the graveyard? And how is my Impersonator affected?

This is the Orcacle text for Necromancy :
So your original Necromancy will be attached to a new Necromancy , and the new Necromancy will trigger. However, the old Necromancy will be attached to an illegal object and will go to the graveyard, triggering the old Necromancy's last abiity to sacrifice the new Necromancy.
You now have 2 triggered abilities to put on the stack: the new Necromancy's reanimate trigger and the old Necromancy's sacrifice trigger. You have two choices:
If you put the sac trigger on top, nothing will happen, because of Necromancy 's intervening "if" clause in its reanimate ability.
If you put the Reanimate trigger on top, you'll choose a creature from a graveyard to put on the battlefield and attach the new Necromancy to it. then the sac trigger will resolve and the new Necromancy will be sacrificed, triggering the reanimated creature to be sacrificed as well.
