quote: Originally posted by orcishartillery: This is not quite correct. When an ability triggers, it is not put on the stack immediately, but rather when a player would receive priority.1. The creatures deal damage, and creature A's ability triggers. 2. State-based actions occur; creature B dies, and its ability triggers. 3. Both triggered abilities are put on the stack at the same time, starting with those controlled by the active player. In this particular situation, the outcome is as you said - creature B's death trigger resolves first - but because creature A's controller is the active player, not because creature A's ability triggers first.
I'm surprised I haven't run into that one before. Thanks for the knowledge. quote: 603.3b If multiple abilities have triggered since the last time a player received priority, each player, in APNAP order, puts triggered abilities he or she controls on the stack in any order he or she chooses. (See rule 101.4.) Then the game once again checks for and resolves state-based actions until none are performed, then abilities that triggered during this process go on the stack. This process repeats until no new state-based actions are performed and no abilities trigger. Then the appropriate player gets priority.

I have a nonzero number of creatures, a Melira, and a Cauldron of Souls out. A Wrath effect is played and I tap my Cauldron to give all my creatures persist. Do they all come back with -1/-1 counters, or does Melira's ability not "kick in" beforehand?

By gaining persist, they come into play with the counters already on them. They don't come into play, and then have them placed.They will all hit, including Melira, with -1/-1 counters on, at which time Melira won't allow any more to be added. If you'd found a way to give her indestructible, so she was still kicking around when everything else came back, you'd be okay.

Persist is a triggered ability. Each creature would come back one-at-time so it would be easy to bring back Melira first.

Yes. In the words of Gloria Gaynor"I.....I will survive. Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give And I'll survive, I will survive, hey, hey"

I believe they all return to their previous controllers' control, regardless of who actually owns each creature

Yes skwirl, as the harvester would "see" itself and all the other creatures going to the graveyard at the same time.

Yes ryan, the donation ability of zedru changes the controller for the purposes of returning control. If it said owner's control it might be different.... but since it doesn't specify, they get it back..... now zedru and brand however.........

This may have been asked but i have a quick simple question. Does extort change the color identity of cards to include white/black?
Therefore, I can't have a creature with extort in a BR edh deck?

Correct, the color identity is any mana symbols on the card.

this actually came up on another thread. Blind Obedience can be played in a mono white deck, etc http://mtgcommander.net/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=15321 you'll have to thank iccarus for this one.

If there's no creature in the battlefield and a player plays Exhume, what happens if one of the chosen creatures to bring back is a Faceless Butcher? The ability reads "When Faceless Butcher enters the battlefield, exile target creature other than Faceless Butcher." Does the controller get to exile a creature, or is there no target to exile just yet because ALL the creatures come back simultaneously?

The controller will get to exile a creature. Targets are not chosen until all the creatures are back in play.

the trigger doesnt even go onto the stack until exhume is done. at this point, all exhumed creatures are on the battlefield, and are fair game for Butchers' target. __________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."[16:17] <@BrassMan> what do you need new tech for?

Question on Clan Defiance.If a pay x=3 (plus the r and g of course) and choose, I can use 1, 2, or all 3 parts of the card? Like pay 3 only one time, and have the 3 legal targets take 3 each? ~MM __________________ Blah, blah, blah werewolf. Smackity-smack not a werewolf. Suspicious of this fruit loop.

Yes. You say "I cast Clan Defiance, with X=3, choosing the following" and can then choose 1, 2 or all 3 options where legal targets exist that you want to target. And for CMC5 you'll hit a flier, nonflier and player for 3

I have mikaeus, the unhallowed in play. I cast diabolic servitude to put creature 'A' into play. Later on, creature 'A' dies. Can I put creature 'A' back on the battlefield with a counter on it and return diabolic servitude to my hand?

Yes, if you stack the triggered abilities so that the Undying ability resolves before Diabolic Servitude's ability.
