Child of Alara and Gift of Immortality - Do I keep Alara after wiping the board?
Asked by ekrow 6 years ago
Hi there,been playing with Child of Alara today and got into an argument about an interaction with Gift of Immortality.
I sacced Child with Abjure and had him put into the graveyard. Child had Gift of Immortality on him. which would return him to the battlefield instead.
When Child is put into the graveyard from play it destroys all permanents, does that mean Gift doesn't resolve since it get's destroyed by Child?
So would I end up with an empty board or does Child trigger, kill all permanents and then would be returned to the battlefield?
Thanks!
Two small notes, Gift of Immortality isn't destroyed, it is put into the graveyard as a state based action (still goes to the graveyard, so not a huge difference). Also, if Gift of Immortality is controlled by a different player than Child of Alara the abilities get put on the stack in APNAP order, so depending on whose turn it is determines whether Child of Alara returns to be destroyed by it's own effect, or comes back after the board wipe.

to answer your question, Gift of Immortality does not get destroyed by Child of Alara's effect, it gets destroyed as child is destroyed, because its attached to child. both effects go on the stacks because they trigger at the same time, and you choose which order to resolve them. so you would choose to resolve child first, destroy everything, then child would come back, then gift comes back at the end step.
