Casting a Hangarback for zero still counts as it dying, right?

It will enter the battlefield, then immediately die. It's ability will trigger but produce no thopters upon resolution.

Perhaps it's in the nature of television. Just waves in space.
Yep, it enters the battlefield and then SBEs see it has 0 toughness and it goes to the graveyard.

So on Magic Online, if your opponent casts Reanimate targeting Iona, and you respond with Containment Priest, the Iona gets exiled and the opponent loses no life. I found a Reddit post from seven months ago detailing this bug. This seems like an extremely noticeable bug, am I misinterpreting how Reanimate is worded or something? I'm reasonably certain that they should still lose 9 life.

They would. Reanimate isn't countered, just that "put onto the battlefield" is replaced with "exiled". The card, and thus the life loss, still resolves.

Hangarback Walker in the graveyard has a CMC of 0, so you can use Liliana's -X ability to get it back without paying any loyalty. It will then immediately die and go back to the graveyard because it has 0 toughness.

It's not a super powerful line, but sometimes a death trigger is all you need.

If you're writing for a magic website you probably need to do it that way so the card name parser can pick it up properly

Apparently Maro was announcing something but it wasn't anything important or anything to get exited by and I get the impression he immediately regretted saying anything about it on his blog.

Lol, I would have figured that it would have waited to have shown up in a modern deck before it spiked that high. I don't think this set is going to be a well opened set. I don't really foresee this to be anywhere this expensive in a few weeks but I doubt it reaches siege rhino cheapness.

Definitely a card to wait on to get a playset of.

I'm glad to see that spell queller has O ring text as opposed to the more boring version of the card, and will have niche cases where it could end multiple spells but only harbor the one you want.
