How necrotic ooze interact with Slimefoot and Squee in the graveyard?
Asked by pedroedmarcos 1 year ago
Hey there,
So, Let's say I have Necrotic Ooze on the field and Slimefoot and Squee from graveyard. Necrotic ooze will have Slimefoot and squee ability being on the field. Can I activate Ooze's ability? Also, If I can, will the ability reanimate Slimefoot and squee and another creature?

The Ooze won't be able to activate the ability from Slimefoot & Squee.
When one object gains an ability from another object that uses the second object's name in the text, the first object will substitute its own name, so that means the ability on Necrotic Ooze says "Return Necrotic Ooze and up to one other target creature card.." Because this ability specifically says it moves the card from the graveyard to the battlefield, that means the ability can only be activated while the card is in the graveyard. Here's the relevant rule with an example:
113.6m An ability whose cost or effect specifies that it moves the object it’s on out of a particular zone functions only in that zone, unless its trigger condition or a previous part of its cost or effect specifies that the object is put into that zone or, if the object is an Aura, that the object it enchants leaves the battlefield. The same is true if the effect of that ability creates a delayed triggered ability whose effect moves the object out of a particular zone.
Example: Reassembling Skeleton says “: Return Reassembling Skeleton from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.” A player may activate this ability only if Reassembling Skeleton is in their graveyard.
