Izzet Denial

Asked by thewyzman 9 years ago

Will casting Stubborn Denial with Kiln Fiend on the field trigger SD's Ferocious effect?

TheHroth says... Accepted answer #1

Yes.

Kiln Fiend's buff would trigger when Stubborn Denial was cast, and be on the stack above it. When it resolves, it will have 4 power to trigger the ferocious of Stubborn Denial when it resolves.

Yes.

Kiln Fiend's ability triggers when you cast a spell. So it always ends up on top of, and resolving first, before the spell that triggers it resolves. To be clear, Ferocious doesn't trigger. It's a check that happens as the spell is resolving. As long as Kiln Fiend is still on the field and its trigger successfully resolved it will be at least a 4 power creature and thus you'll get the Ferocious effect of Stubborn Denial.

Ooh, I thought so; A 1-mana situational counterspell for my Izzet pump deck :)

Thanks!
