If 2 knight of the white orchid enter at the same time how do the ETB searches resolve?

Asked by The_Dark_Adonis 8 years ago

Lets say you cast Collected Company and get 2 Knight of the White Orchid. If you have 1 land less than your opponent will you pull out 1 land or 2?

The abilities trigger simultaneously, and you have fewer lands than your opponent, so both will trigger. However, the second ability to resolve may or may not cause you to find a land. The ability has an intervening "if" clause, which means it will only trigger if the condition is true and will only have an effect on resolution if the condition is still true. If it becomes false in the meantime, nothing will happen on resolution.
