# Using Supernatural Stamina on a Zombie Creature with Diregraf Colossus on the board

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-06-12)

So let's say for instance I am attacking with a [Festering Mummy](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bFestering%20Mummy%5d) and it's blocked so I use [Supernatural Stamina](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bSupernatural%20Stamina%5d) on it because I know it will be destroyed. If I have [Diregraf Colossus](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?name=%2b%5bDiregraf%20Colossus%5d) in play does the Zombie Card returned act as a spell cast? I was looking at rulings on Supernatural Stamina [here](http://www.mtgassist.com/cards/Amonkhet/Supernatural-Stamina/rulings/)

Supernatural Stamina adds a *Triggered Ability* to the (in this case) mummy that has an *Effect* of returning the mummy to the battlefield when it dies. This is **not** the same as casting a spell so it does **not** Trigger the Ability of the Diregraf Colossus.
