Order of triggers when multiple permanents enter the battlefield and some die?

Asked by CogMonocle 9 years ago

So let's say someone casts a massive genesis wave and gets 2 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn , and a Leveler . One of the Emrakuls then dies. Can they stack the triggers so that the leveler exiles the library before emrakul shuffles? Or does the Emrakul die with the Leveler trigger on the stack, so it ends up in the library and exiled?

Basicly it comes down to how the player stacks the triggers.

Leveler 's ability will trigger when it enters, but triggered abilities don't go on the stack until players receive priority. Then state-based actions are checked, and one of the Emrakuls will go to the graveyard, triggering the graveyard-shuffle ability.

Now the players receive priority again, and the player can put the triggers in whatever order they want. He probably wants to put the Leveler trigger on top so the graveyard-shuffle ability resolves after.
