exalted triggers, stacking & the math
Asked by griffstick 8 years ago
im so confused if there's 7 exalted triggers, how is it any more the +7/+7 to rafiq. why is it +43/+43. somebody please elaborate how exalted stacking works! i have Rafiq of the Many, Sublime Archangel, and 5 copies with Rite of Replication. when rafiq attacks alone exalted triggers happen. start from when rafiq attacks and please explain this to me how this works with detail.

i get it so your saying if i control 6 creatures that say "creatures you control have exalted" then it looks like this on the stack when a creature attacks:
creature attacks triggers stack.
Sublime Archangel 1. exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted. making 7 instances of exalted cause of rafiq's extra exalted from the angel
Sublime Archangel 2. exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted. making 7 instances of exalted cause of rafiq's extra exalted from the angel
Sublime Archangel 3. exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted. making 7 instances of exalted cause of rafiq's extra exalted from the angel
Sublime Archangel 4. exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted. making 7 instances of exalted cause of rafiq's extra exalted from the angel
Sublime Archangel 5. exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted. making 7 instances of exalted cause of rafiq's extra exalted from the angel
Sublime Archangel 6. exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted. making 7 instances of exalted cause of rafiq's extra exalted from the angel
Rafiq of the Many. exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted, exalted. making 7 instances of exalted cause of rafiq's extra exalted from the angel + 1 more instance of exalted to himself. 8
thats +7+7+7+7+7+7+8=53 to rafiq of the many as a 3/3 geting +53/+53 making him a 56/56 double strike.
i believe this is correct stack order. but if there's no Sublime Archangel and say i just have 6 creatures with exalted like Knight of Glory then its +6/+6 to rafiq?July 3, 2015 4:51 p.m.
The math is slightly off since it's "other creatures". With 6 Sublime Archangel each one has one instance of exalted itself, plus 5 instances of exalted from the other Sublime Archangels. So each Sublime Archangel is 6 instances of exalted, and Rafiq of the Many has 7 instances, one for himself and 6 from the Sublime Archangels. So 43 exalted triggers would go on the stack.
If you had 6 Knight of Glory it's 7 exalted triggers, one for each Knight of Glory and one for Rafiq of the Many.

If you have a followup question to a recently resolved question, or if you would like an explanation of the answer to that question, post in that thread.
Also, if you must post an additional thread for whatever reason, I recommend starting with the game state and then asking the question from there so it's immediately clear what's going on. Otherwise, readers will get confused by your first few lines.

On Sublime Archangel, it says that each instance of Exalted triggers seperately, so if you have 6 of them, each of the 6 would have 6 cases of Exalted, making it 36 right there. Then, Rafiq has 7 (the one he started with + the 6 from the angels) making it 43 cases total. So, you attack with Rafiq, all 43 cases of Exalted go on the stack, and when everything is said and done, he gets +1/+1 43 times, or more simply, +43/+43.
