How many triggers with Valakut + Prismatic Omen

Asked by Servo_Token 8 years ago

So here's the situation. on board, I have a Prismatic Omen, 1 Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and 5 other lands. I tap out and play Primeval Titan, searching for 2 additional copies of Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and putting them on the field.

Assuming that I choose 'All possible', how many triggers would I be putting on the stack?

In other words, Does Valakut see itself enter the battlefield?

You would get 6 triggers.

Each Valakut entering the battlefield will see the other one entering, and themselves. So your (now) three Valakut each trigger twice.

603.6a Enters-the-battlefield abilities trigger when a permanent enters the battlefield. These are written, "When [this object] enters the battlefield, ..." or "Whenever a [type] enters the battlefield, ..." Each time an event puts one or more permanents onto the battlefield, all permanents on the battlefield (including the newcomers) are checked for any enters-the-battlefield triggers that match the event.

And:

603.3b If multiple abilities have triggered since the last time a player received priority, each player, in APNAP order, puts triggered abilities he or she controls on the stack in any order he or she chooses. (See rule 101.4.) Then the game once again checks for and resolves state-based actions until none are performed, then abilities that triggered during this process go on the stack. This process repeats until no new state-based actions are performed and no abilities trigger. Then the appropriate player gets priority.
