Official Rulings (7)
Multiple finality counters on a single permanent are redundant.
Once you begin casting a spell from your graveyard, it immediately moves to the stack. Players canβt take any actions until youβve finished casting the spell.
Finality counters arenβt keyword counters, and a finality counter doesnβt give any abilities to the permanent itβs on. If that permanent loses its abilities and then would go to a graveyard, it will still be exiled instead.
You still pay all costs and obey timing restrictions when casting Hundred-Battle Veteran from your graveyard with the permission from its last ability.
Finality counters donβt stop permanents from going to zones other than the graveyard from the battlefield. For example, if a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into its ownerβs hand from the battlefield, it does so normally.
If a permanent with a finality counter on it would be put into a graveyard from the battlefield, exile it instead.
If Hundred-Battle Veteran is countered after being cast from your graveyard, it will return to your graveyard. It may be cast this way again. (That doesnβt count as one of the hundred battles.)
