If I target my own Rancor with a Terastodon will the effect still take place and give me a 3/3 elephant token?
I ask this question because there is a ruling on Terastodon that says:
If a targeted permanent has indestructible or regenerates, its controller won't get an Elephant token for it. Similarly, if the targeted permanent is destroyed but a replacement effect moves it to a different zone instead of its owner's graveyard, its controller won't get an Elephant token for it.
So I suppose the question is, does the effect of Rancor returning to its controller's hand count as a replacement effect?
