can I cast an instant to destroy all lands before they become indestructible?
Asked by Corvanus 4 years ago
If Nissa who shakes the world uses her -8 after searching for lands can I destroy all lands before the emblem is created by using wake of destruction and vedalken orrery to accomplish this goal?

Please link all cards in your question.
Nissa, Who Shakes the World
Wake of Destruction
Vedalken Orrery
Yes. Loyalty abilities, like other activated abilities, go on the stack and can be responded to. Nissa doesn't make the lands indestructible until the ultimate resolves. The forests from her ability will not yet be on the battlefield either though, so your opponent would still be able to put out any remaining forest cards from their deck and there would be no time that they had those cards out and didn't have the emblem.
