Today, we&#8217;re going to talk about another fun interaction: <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.magicjudges.org\/rulestips\/wp-content\/plugins\/lems-mtg-helper\/lems-mtg-helper-cardfinder.php?find=Giant+Adephage&width=223&height=310\" class=\"jTip\" name=\"\">Giant Adephage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s say we get the Adephage into our graveyard, and then use the Whip to temporarily resurrect the Adephage. Naturally, we&#8217;re going to want to attack with it (because who doesn&#8217;t like attacking with giant bugs?). Since it&#8217;s a 7\/7 trampler,  he&#8217;s likely to get through for some damage. And you&#8217;ll get a copy of the Adephage.<\/p>\n<p>The fun part comes at the end of the turn, when the original Adephage will be exiled due to the Whip&#8217;s delayed triggered ability. But the token will stick around. The token was made by the Giant Adephage&#8217;s triggered ability. It wasn&#8217;t made because of the Whip, so the token will stick around even if the original Adephage doesn&#8217;t. The delayed trigger from the Whip isn&#8217;t a copiable value, so it doesn&#8217;t carry over to the token. So we can continue to smash with a gigantic bug every turn (probably getting more bug tokens in the process!), and that&#8217;s not a bad thing; that&#8217;s a good thing.<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Rules Tip written by Nathan Long<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whip of Erebos&#8217;s &#8220;exile that thing&#8221; trigger isn&#8217;t copiable, so if you get a token copy of a resurrected Giant Adephage, for example, the token has no obligation to go away at end of turn.
