Use the toughness of the dying creature as it last existed on the battlefield and the toughness of the creature cards in your graveyard to determine which of those cards are legal targets.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If Colfenor dies at the same time as another creature you control, its last ability triggers for each of them.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
