Sidisi exploiting Sidisi

Asked by RoyLancaster 9 years ago

Card in question: Sidisi, Undead Vizier

I have a Sidisi out on the battlefield. I play another Sidisi. Which will come first, the legendary rule, forcing me to sacrifice one, or the exploit rule, letting me sacrifice one to the other?

Essentially, can Sidisi exploit another copy of herself?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: No, because exploit is a triggered ability, but the legendary rule effect is a state-based action, which will occur before the triggered ability resolves, so there will only be one Sidisi on the battlefield when the exploit ability resolves.

Side-note: The legendary rule does not cause you to sacrifice permanents, it just makes you choose one and put the rest into your graveyard. Relevant for cards like It That Betrays
