Does a spell trigger before an aura ?

Asked by Hellmental 9 years ago

Sorry for the title

I'm a dutiful thrull, and im enchanted by ethereal armor. I'm 2/2

A foe curse me with stab wound.

what happen.. ?

Stab wound trigger first and I get 0/0 and die, so I regenerate, and die again ?

Or

Ethereal armor trigger first and grant me +1/+1 for my new curse ?

The controller of Stab Wound remains your opponent, so your creature doesn't get a boost from being enchanted with Stab Wound . It would be a 2/2 getting -2/-2 until end of turn and would go to the graveyard.

Also note, none of these things are "triggering"

Ethereal Armor creates a static effect giving the enchanted creature +1/+1 for each enchantment, and first strike. And Stab Wound creates a static effect giving the creature -2/-2 etc.

Both of those are the same kind of effect so they would modify the p/t of the creature in the same layer, so if for whatever crazy reason you -did- cast Stab Wound on your own creature, it would be getting -2/-2 from the Stab Wound , +2/+2 from the Ethereal Armor and would be a 1/1 as a result.

Well, in this situation, the Dutiful Thrull would die because Ethereal Armor only gives a buff for enchantments you control. Your opponent controls Stab Wound .

In this case, you couldn't regenerate Dutiful Thrull . Regeneration basically saves a creature the next time it would be destroyed as an effect or by damage. The toughness reduction of Stab Wound bypasses regeneration.

To answer your final question, let's assume that (for some godforsaken reason) you put your own Stab Wound on the Ethereal Armor ed Dutiful Thrull . In that case, you would control three enchantments, so Dutiful Thrull would get +2/+2, but also get -2/-2. Thus it would be a 1/1 and would not die.

Ethereal Armor give me +1/+1 for each enchantment, so stab wound is a enchantment.

So I'm 3/3 - 2/2Or 2/2 - 2/2

Ethereal Armor says "enchantments YOU control" you don't control their enchantment even if it enchanting something you control.
