If Yixlid Jailer is in play and is put to the graveyard, do bridge from belows in an opponents graveyard get RFGed? If you can, please explain why or why not. Thank you in advance.

Yixlid Jailer
1B (2), Creature - Zombie Wizard 2/1
Cards in graveyards lose all abilities.

Bridge from Below
BBB (3), Enchantment
Whenever a nontoken creature is put into your graveyard from play, if Bridge from Below is in your graveyard, put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token into play.
When a creature is put into an opponent's graveyard from play, if Bridge from Below is in your graveyard, remove Bridge from Below from the game.



EDIT: I found this off SCG.

Q: I have a Bridge from Below in my graveyard, and my opponent has a Yixlid Jailer in play. I know that if any of my creatures die, my Bridge will not trigger and put a Zombie into play, and that if one of my opponent's creatures dies the Bridge, will not trigger and be removed. However, what happens if I kill the Jailer with the Bridge in the graveyard? Will the Bridge be deactivated until the Jailer is completely dead, and stay in the graveyard, or will it notice that the Jailer was put into a graveyard from play and remove itself from the game?

A: The Bridge from Below ability will not trigger. Bridge from Below has two leaves-play triggered abilities (How leaves-play abilities work is covered in section 410.10d). Whenever an event occurs in Magic, the game will look at the game state just prior to that event to see if any leaves-play triggered abilities triggered. This means that you check to see if the Bridge from Below's abilities triggered just before the Yixlid Jailer went to the graveyard. At that time Bridge from Below did not have any abilities, so there was nothing to trigger.

Oracle text: Target player shuffles up to three target cards from his or her graveyard into his or her library.
Draw a card.
When Gaea's Blessing is put into your graveyard from your library, shuffle your graveyard into your library.

Also, how does Jailor work vs/with Gaea's Blessing?

Yixlid Jailer is in play, and a spell puts the top card of your library into your graveyard. It turns out to be Gaea's Blessing. Do you shuffle your graveyard into your library?

Click here to see the answer when you're ready.

No, you don't, for the same reason: If a card moves from a hidden zone into a visible one, again we check for triggered abilities while the card is visible. Gaea's Blessing can only trigger while it's in the graveyard - but it doesn't have the ability there. Guerrilla Tactics also gets shut down this way.

If a card is searched for, and revealed by say, Intuition, Gifts Ungiven or (ack) Future sight, is it still hidden? as far as last known info is concerned?
