can i use Dawn Charm to regenerate creatures in my graveyard?
Asked by darthtofu 9 years ago
i.e. if i use Buried Alive can i use Dawn Charm to regenerate the creatures i chose with Buried Alive ?
"Regenerate" in Magic means something specific: "The next time (insert thing here) would go from the battlefield to the graveyard this turn, it doesn't; instead, some other stuff happens (which is irrelevant to this question)." It does not mean "bring dead things back to life".
You can't "regenerate" a creature you put into the graveyard with Buried Alive .

thanks erabel! i really appreciate the answer and for clarifying for someone still kinda learning the rules of the game.People like you make the game fun! cschiller answering the question with another question defeats the purpose of the Q & A. so next time just dont.

No need to be hostile. Regenerate is a complicated mechanic and cschiller was just checking to see if you knew how it works. A Q&A is about questions and answers, not necessarily a single question with a single answer.
Regardless, erabel is correct.

@Drilnoth It absolutely read like "Wow you're stupid" not "I'd like to clarify your knowledge of this mechanic." because if darthtofu did know what regenerate was and how it worked, he wouldn't ask this question in the first place.

I would like to clarify further that a "Regeneration shield" interacts with destruction specifically. It possible for something to go the graveyard from the battlefield for a reason other than being destroyed (such as being sacrificed) that Regeneration does not protect against.

Interesting things, Regeneration will not prevent a creatures death as result of a -X/-X effect (cards like Drown in Sorrow or Bile Blight ) and, if you get on a scenario of Thrun, the Last Troll activated ability vs a Wrath of God , the creature cannot be regenerated.

Do you know what regenerate does?
