Tarrian's Journal // The Tomb of Aclazotz

Tarrian's Journal{1}{B}
Legendary Artifact — Book

{T}, Sacrifice another artifact or creature: Draw a card. Activate only as a sorcery.

{2}, {T}, Discard your hand: Transform Tarrian's Journal.

Though officially deemed a heretic for his reverent writings on Aclazotz, Tarrian is viewed as a holy martyr by the most radical sects of the Church of Dusk.

The Tomb of Aclazotz
Legendary Land — Cave

(Transforms from Tarrian's Journal.)

{T}: Add {B}.

{T}: You may cast a creature spell from your graveyard this turn. If you do, it enters with a finality counter on it and is a Vampire in addition to its other types. (If a creature with a finality counter on it would die, exile it instead.)

  • The creature spell you cast will be a Vampire in addition to its other types while on the stack. The resulting creature will be a Vampire in addition to its other types.

  • You must still follow any timing restrictions and permissions for creature spells you cast with the permission granted by The Tomb of Aclazotz's last ability. Normally, you'll be able to cast them only during your main phase while the stack is empty.

  • Finality counters work on any permanent, not only creatures. If a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.

  • Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant.

    Nov 10, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast
  • Finality counters don't stop permanents from going to zones other than the graveyard from the battlefield. For example, if a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into its owner's hand from the battlefield, it does so normally.

  • You don't choose which creature spell you're casting while activating or resolving The Tomb of Aclazotz's last ability. The ability creates a permission for you to cast a creature spell from your graveyard later in the turn.

    Nov 10, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast
  • If you somehow activate The Tome of Aclazotz's ability more than once during a turn, you can cast a creature spell for each ability's permission. Similarly, if another effect allows you to cast a creature spell from your graveyard, you may use that permission and later use The Tomb of Aclazotz's ability to cast another creature spell.

    Nov 10, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast
  • Finality counters aren't keyword counters, and a finality counter doesn't give any abilities to the permanent it's on. If that permanent loses its abilities and then would go to a graveyard, it will still be exiled instead.

    Nov 10, 2023 · Wizards of the Coast
  • You can discard your hand even if you hand has zero cards in it.
