Rayami, First of the Fallen
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
If a nontoken creature would die, exile that card with a blood counter on it instead.
As long as an exiled creature card with a blood counter on it has flying, Rayami has flying. The same is true for first strike, double strike, deathtouch, haste, hexproof, indestructible, lifelink, menace, protection, reach, trample, and vigilance.
Rulings
6 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2019-08-23
If a nontoken creature that isn't normally a creature (such as a Vehicle) would die, Rayami exiles it with a blood counter on it, although Rayami won't gain any of its abilities.
- 2019-08-23
If an exiled creature card has one of the listed keywords only if certain conditions are met, the ability granting that keyword doesn't apply while the card is in exile. Rayami won't gain that ability from that card.
- 2019-08-23
If an exiled creature card has one or more variants of the listed keywords (for example, protection from black or hexproof from white), Rayami gains those specific variants.
- 2019-08-23
Rayami looks at all exiled creature cards with blood counters, not only those exiled with its ability. It even looks at those exiled by an ability of another player's Rayami, First of the Fallen.
- 2019-08-23
Nontoken creatures that would die at the same time that Rayami leaves the battlefield are exiled with blood counters.
- 2019-08-23
If multiple replacement effects try to change where a dying creature would go, the controller of the creature chooses one to apply. If Rayami's effect doesn't exile the creature, it won't have a blood counter on it, even if another effect exiles it.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
