    Abilities that trigger whenever a creature an opponent controls dies won't trigger unless that creature is a token (see below).

  • WotCJan 22, 2016

    If Kalitas dies at the same time as creatures your opponents control, those creature cards will be exiled and you'll get that many Zombies.

  • WotCJan 22, 2016

    If a creature token an opponent controls dies, it goes to that player's graveyard as normal before ceasing to exist.

  • WotCJan 22, 2016

    You can't sacrifice Kalitas to activate the last ability, even if it's somehow become a Zombie.
