Can I chain enduring ideal into paradox haze?

Asked by killroy726 7 years ago

Say I have cast Eternal Dominion and at my next upkeep it goes off and I fetch Paradox Haze do I automatically get the additional upkeep step from haze allowing dominion to go off again?

Beginning with your next upkeep, you would get the additional upkeep and trigger for Dominion. The upkeep for the current turn would already be completed.

Please don't ask questions about two situations this similar in separate questions. This and Enduring Ideal could easily be phrased as one question.

The answer to both, unfortunately, is no.

Everything that triggers at "the beginning of your upkeep" triggers just then, at the beginning of the step. It then goes on the stack when players first get priority in the step (immediately after), and resolves when it is the top-most object on the stack and no one opts to play anything else.

If you fetch Paradox Haze with the copy of Enduring Dominion/Enduring Ideal from your opponent's / your library and enchant yourself with it, then that is happening when Enduring Dominion/Enduring Ideal is resolving, and "the beginning of your upkeep" has already passed, so Paradox Haze will not trigger.

(I'm assuming based off of how you phrased you question that you were asking whether fetching Paradox Haze with the copied spell you get in your upkeep would get you a second upkeep during that turn. Keep in mind that it will get you a second upkeep the following turn, and that searching it out with the original spell you cast from your hand will also get you a second upkeep the following turn. General rule of thumb: Paradox Haze has to be enchanting you at the start of your turn for you to get an extra upkeep.)

I didn't intentionally post a secondary question.my comp had an error which resulted in a double post. I had thought the original didnt get published so my apologies

That's alright. It's not a big deal.

Also one small correction to GearNoir's answer, since it is the one currently selected.

The beginning of your upkeep has passed and therefore the trigger condition for Paradox Haze has already passed and it will not trigger this turn. You are however decidedly still in your upkeep and players can cast instants and activate abilities before moving to the draw step.
