Necromancy Mishra's Factory?

[heiner]

Hi,
can I return an animated Mishra's Factory that goes to the graveyard to play using Necromancy or Argivian Archeologist? When Mishra's Factory goes hits the graveyard it's still a creature.

[John Cox]

Nope. When it hits the graveyard it reverts back to being a land.

So when an animated factory goes to the graveyard and triggers e.g. bridge from below, I can't react with Necromancy (with flash) as the factory is not yet considered to be in the graveyard?

[John Cox]

No, it has to be in the graveyard for an animate effect.

When a creature goes to the graveyard, is the condition of a triggered ability. When this condition happens there's a trigger that waits to go on the stack. The next time a player would get priority, the trigger goes onto the stack. When the active player has priority, Mishra's Factory is in the graveyard. A card in the graveyard is only what is written on the card. Mishra's Factory would only be a land card in the graveyard even if it was a creature and a land on the battlefield. Since Necromancy triggered ability only targets creature card, it can't bring back Mishra's Factory.
