    Text (MI+errata): Cumulative Upkeep - {1}{B}. ; At the beginning of each upkeep, if ~this~ is on the battlefield, each player puts a 2/2 black Zombie creature token with haste named Tombspawn onto the battlefield for each creature card in his or her graveyard. ; At the beginning of the end step or when ~this~ leaves the battlefield, destroy all tokens put onto the battlefield with ~this~.

  • You control the triggered ability, but each player controls the token creature they put into play due to the ability's effect. [D'Angelo 1999/07/10]
  • All the tokens are put into play simultaneously. [D'Angelo 1998/11/16]

  • If something changes the names of the tokens, then the "at end of turn" ability will still destroy them. [D'Angelo 2003/08/01]
