How it works : Kaya, Ghost Haunter

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Haunting a creature has no inherent rules meaning. It’s a designation that other effects (such as those of Kaya’s emblems) may refer to.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Kaya returns to the battlefield immediately after the creature she haunts leaves the battlefield. When she returns this way, she’s considered a new object and enters with her starting loyalty counters.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If Kaya somehow leaves exile, the creature is no longer haunted. Similarly, if Kaya isn’t exiled by her first ability as it resolves, the creature isn’t haunted.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  4. #4· Wizards of the Coast

    Kaya’s emblems can target a creature that’s haunted by anything, not just by Kaya.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
