Alies Question

If an ally is returned to play from a graveyard, does the ally ability occur again? For example: Nimana Sellsword and agadeem occultist are in play, Agadeem occultist taps to draw a halimar excavator from my graveyard. Does the Nimana Sellsword get another +1/+1 token? and will the Halimar excavator mill my opponents deck again?

also:

If a bunch of allies are returned to play from a graveyard, (Liliana Vess' final ability for example) do their ally abilities occur once again?

yes, going from the graveyard to the battlefield triggers all the "comes into play" effects

Like he said, anytime ANY object enters the battlefield from ANY other zone(graveyard, hand, library, exile, stack) it will trigger any associated "enters the battlefield" abilities

phasing in and out(just for reference) doesn't make these effects trigger as phasing in and out in NOT considered changing zones
