Kamigawa flip cards - state based action or triggered ability?

Asked by MrGameAndScotch 5 years ago

Can you react to the trigger being met (triggered ability) or do Kamigawa flip cards flip the moment the condition is met? I can't find anything in the Comprehensive Rules 709.

Thanks in advance!

There are two distinct ways the cards can flip. Most have a triggered ability of some sort such as Akki Lavarunner (triggered abilities start with "when", "whenever", or "at"). Some have an activated, like Budoka Gardener, that flips it if something is true at the end of the ability's resolution. Either way both types of abilities go on the stack and can be responded to. The only thing you can't do is try to do something in the middle of the activated ability. Like you can't allow Orochi Eggwatcher's ability to make a token and then try to Chandra's Fury to keep it from flipping.
