Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet and Omnath, Locust of Rage

Asked by STOUGHned4GG 6 years ago

I have omnath out and my opponent has Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet out , i play a high market, trigger omnath I get a 5/5. Now when I use high market to sacrifice the token while omnath is still out will I be able to trigger the bottom ability of Omnath, Locust of Rage

Omnath, Locus of Rage

Yes, because Kalitas replaces the event of a nontoken creature dying. Your token is, well, a token, so it will not be affected by Kalitas's replacement effect.

If you evoke Ingot Chewer, however, it won't die, because Kalitas replaces that with exiling it instead. Omnath, Locus of Mana's last ability won't trigger in this case, because no elemental died.

Now lets say the same situation happens except I have multiple tokens out and my opponent plays a field wipe, does the lower portion of Omnaths ability make it so that I will get to deal 3x damage without the use of another card or ability?

X= # of elemental token creatures that died

If you have a new question, you should post it as a seperate question, and certainly not label your own addition to the question as the accepted answer (which will also remove it from the unanswered queue).
Also, please link all cards relevant to your question: High Market

The answer is very much the same as for the original answer, though: Omnath, Locus of Rage triggers whenever an elemental you control dies (as in, is put into the graveyard), even if that happens at the same time that Omnath itself dies at. Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet will still replace all cards going to the graveyard, but all tokens that were elemental creatures, Omnath will trigger for.

That said, assuming you have 5 elemental tokens that die this way, you don't get to deal 15 damage, but 3 damage, five times. This is an important distinction because each ability can target a different creature or player.
