can i draw the Noxious Revival card with Chromatic Star

Asked by mathijsderouck 5 years ago

Hi, if i make a green mana with Chromatic Star to cast Noxious Revival. Is it still possible to draw the card i put on top of my library using the draw-effect of the Chromatic Star?

Yes, there's a way to make that work:

• Activate the mana ability of Chromatic Star
• The Star's triggered ability is put onto the stack
• Respond by casting Noxious Revival (since it's an instant), using the currently in your mana pool
• If there are no more responses, Revival resolves and puts a card on top
• If there are no more responses, the Star trigger resolves and you draw the card

Note that this doesn't work with Chromatic Sphere, since with the Sphere you draw the card as part of the mana ability resolving.

Thanks a lot for your response. I thought (hoped) this was how I could make my play. I really like this synergie, it shows once more the power of Chromatic Star is not to be taken lightly
