Does regeneration work with sacrificing?
1) Regeneration only works when a permanent is destroyed, or dealt lethal damage. It’s not possible to regenerate from a sacrifice, because it doesn’t use the word “destroy”.
How does regeneration work in magic?
Regeneration is a replacement effect which means: “The next time this permanent would be destroyed this turn, it isn’t. Instead tap it, remove all damage from it, and remove it from combat.”
Does a regenerated creature still deal damage?
Activating or triggering a regeneration ability does not remove the creature from combat or prevent it from dealing damage. It simply creates a “regeneration shield”.
Do regenerated creatures keep counters?
Since they don’t leave the battlefield, they don’t get to disappear into nothingness and can safely be kept from harms way. This also means that counters, enchantments, equipment, etc. aren’t removed from a regenerated creature—token or otherwise—because the creature remains alive and well.
Can you regenerate a Planeswalker?
Regenerating a planeswalker will prevent it from being destroyed as a result of a “destroy” effect (like the one from Reaper King). However, it won’t prevent that planeswalker from being put into its owner’s graveyard when its loyalty becomes 0.
Can I regenerate a discarded creature?
You can’t regenerate a destroyed creature because it’s already dead and gone so there’s nothing to regenerate. This means that you have to grant regeneration before lethal is dealt. Regeneration functions as a “replacement effect”, meaning that the effect waits for one conditional event to replace with another.
Does regenerate work against board wipes?
Regenerating a creature can save it from most board wipes. I can activate its regenerate ability to do so.
Can you sacrifice in response to a board wipe?
You can sacrifice in response, giving one of your creatures the ability to regenerate once until the end of the turn.
Do field wipes work on Hexproof?
Auras on the battlefield don’t target anything. Granting hexproof to a permanent or player doesn’t cause opponents’ Auras to become unattached. A card that has ‘hexproof’ is still affected by board wipes that don’t target specifically that card.
