Multiple Punishing Fires

Asked by GlistenerAgent 9 years ago

I've been told that because of the wording on Punishing Fire , tapping one Grove of the Burnwillows to add R and having the opponent gain 1 life allows you to use that single R to bring back multiple copies of Punishing Fire from the graveyard. Is this correct?

No. Each copy of Punishing Fire in a graveyard is individual, and each one has its own triggered ability that triggers whenever an opponent gains life. You have to pay R for each Punishing Fire you want to return, and you make the payments individually as those abilities resolve.

Tapping Grove of the Burnwillows for R will cause an opponent to gain 1 life, which will trigger the triggered abilities of all Punishing Fire s in your graveyard, but you can only spend the R on one of those abilities. You'll need to produce more R to pay for additional abilities.
