    Because the triggered ability doesn't target the creature card in your graveyard, you may choose one of the two cards you put there from your library.

  • WotCApr 17, 2020

    If Death's Oasis becomes a creature, activating its last ability will cause its first ability to trigger.

  • WotCApr 17, 2020

    If a creature on the battlefield or a card in your graveyard has {X} in its mana cost, X is considered to be 0.

  • WotCApr 17, 2020

    Use the mana value of the creature as it last existed on the battlefield and the mana value of the creature card as it exists in your graveyard to determine which cards may be returned to your hand. This may result in a creature's death bringing itself back to your hand; perhaps it was one card of a merged creature, or it had become a copy of a more expensive creature.
