Flying

Whenever one or more Birds you control deal combat damage to a player, choose one —

• You may put a Bird creature card from your hand or graveyard onto the battlefield with a finality counter on it.

• Put a +1/+1 counter on each Bird you control.

• Draw a card.

Official rulings

  1. Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant. (2024-07-26)
  2. 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. (2024-07-26)
  3. 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. (2024-07-26)
  4. 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. (2024-07-26)
