Metallic Mimic trigger

Asked by dbauslaugh 6 years ago

Can I cast a fatal push to kill metallic mimic in response to my opponent casting legion's landing and populating a vampire token with a +1+1 counter. Would the token get a +1+1 counter or would the metallic mimic leave the battlefield before triggering the token to get the counter?

Please link all cards in your question using double brackets.

Metallic Mimic

Fatal Push

Legion's Landing  ^Flip

Remember that there is a round of priority before anything happens when a spell is cast, an ability triggers, or an ability is activated and that objects on the stack resolve First In, Last Out. As long as you Fatal Push either in response to Legion's Landing  ^Flip or the Landing's trigger the Metallic Mimic will not be on the battlefield when the token is created and the token will therefore not receive a counter. If you allow the token to enter before responding it will have already triggered the Mimic and a counter will be put on the token.
