responding to Faerie Miscreant's trigger ability

Asked by The_Kazekyo 7 years ago

So let's say my opponent already have a Faerie Miscreant on the battlefield and then casts a second one the question is if i respond to the faerie's triggered ability by casting an Echoing Decay does he still draw a card?

Neotrup says... Accepted answer #1

The ability has an 'intervening if,' so the 'if' statement has to be true both when the ability would trigger, and when the ability resolves, so echoing decay will kill both and prevent the draw. From the card's gatherer page:

6/22/2015: Faerie Miscreants triggered ability checks to see if you control another creature named Faerie Miscreant at the time the new Faerie Miscreant enters the battlefield. If you don't, the ability wont trigger at all. The ability will check again as it tries to resolve. If, at that time, you don't control another creature named Faerie Miscreant, the ability will have no effect.
