Official card text
When target creature dies this turn, return that card to the battlefield under its owner's control.
How it works : Graceful Reprieve
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Graceful Reprieve’s effect works only once. If the targeted creature leaves the battlefield and is then returned to the battlefield, it’s considered to be a new creature. If that new creature is put into a graveyard, it won’t come back a second time.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Graceful Reprieve can target a token creature, but since tokens cease to exist after they leave the battlefield, it won’t be returned to the battlefield.
No other card is named in this ruling.
