When your manifested card dies, Gift&#8217;s trigger tries to return that card to the battlefield. This is where you have a few possible outcomes depending on what the card was:<\/p>\n<p>If it was a creature: It returns face-up. Gift will return attached to it on your end step.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If it was an aura: It returns face-up attached to something it could legally enchant if possible. This may mean enchanting an opponent&#8217;s creature for their benefit, since you can&#8217;t just choose not to return it! If there&#8217;s nothing it could legally enchant, it just stays in the graveyard, and so does Gift.<\/li>\n<li>If it was an artifact, enchantment, land, or planeswalker: It returns face-up. When Gift triggers on your end step, it won&#8217;t be able to enter attached to a non-creature, so it just stays in the graveyard (unless you managed to turn that object into a creature somehow before the trigger resolves!).<\/li>\n<li>If it was an instant or sorcery: It want to return to the battlefield face-up, but that&#8217;s simply unacceptable to the game rules for an instant or sorcery to be on the battlefield, so it stays in the graveyard, and so does Gift.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hope this helps clear up the possibilities!<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s Rules Tip written by Josh Stansfield<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gift of Immortality can return any permanent card that it was attached to if the card was a face-down manifest creature when it died.
