First the rulings on three cards involved
Revenant, 4B
Creature - Spirit
Flying, */*
Revenant’s power and toughness are each equal to the number of
creature cards in your graveyard.
Kokusho, the Evening Star
Legendary Creature - Dragon Spirit
Flying, 5/5
When Kokusho, the Evening Star is put into a graveyard from play, each
opponent loses 5 life. You gain life equal to the life lost this way.
Patriarch's Bidding
Sorcery
3BB
Each player chooses a creature type. Each player returns all creature
cards of a type chosen this way from his or her graveyard to play.
*** *** ***
Consider a Spirit deck with the a handful of Spirits, including 1
Revenant and 2 Kokusho, in the graveyard. If I play Patriarch's
Bidding and choose Spirit, the Revenant is a 0/0 creature because
there aren't any creatures in my grave, and the Kokusho kill each
other because of Legend rule. As far as I can recall these are both
state-based effects.
My question: am I allowed to put the Kokusho into grave first, which
would then spare my Revenant (now a 2/2 creature)?
