If lightpaws dies with the trigger on the stack can I find animate dead?
Asked by IceFloe_7 2 years ago
If Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice triggers, with that ability on the stack I sacrifice lightpaws, would I be able to tutor an effect like Animate Dead as she is now in my graveyard and can be enchanted by the card?

Unfortunately no, that won't work. When a card uses its own name in the text of an ability, it means "this object, right here". The object that the "Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice" in the triggered ability on the stack is referring to is the Light-Paws on the battlefield that the ability triggered from. The Light-Paws in the graveyard is a different game object, and the aura you search for can't be attached to it.
