Ruling (1)
- If a creature an opponent controls would die, and both Nemata and another effect are trying to exile it instead, that opponent chooses which effect to apply. If Nemata's effect ends up not applying because of this choice, the triggered ability that creates a Saproling token won't trigger, even if the creature card ends up in exile.
