Sidisi trigger while summoned by See the Unwritten
Asked by NixTheThird 9 years ago
The situation: I play See the Unwritten and pick Sidisi, Brood Tyrant as the creature I place onto the battlefield. I put the rest of the cards in the graveyard, which includes another creature card.
Will Sidisi, Brood Tyrant 's second ability trigger from See the Unwritten putting creature card(s) into the graveyard? I read it as both things occurring at the same time, so that means sidisi is on the battlefield as I am placing a creature card from my library to the graveyard, so I would get a zombie. This trigger would have to wait until after See the Unwritten was finished resolving and would be a separate instance of milling from the trigger I would get from Sidisi's ETB effect (which would also have to wait for See the Unwritten to completely resolve as well).

When you resolve a spell or ability, you perform the steps in their written order. In this case, you put Sidisi, Brood Tyrant onto the battlefield, then put the rest of the cards into your graveyard. Therefore, Sidisi, Brood Tyrant will be on the battlefield when the other creature card goes from the top of your library to your graveyard.
Once See the Unwritten has completely resolve, you will have both an instance of Sidisi, Brood Tyrant 's ETB ability and Sidisi, Brood Tyrant 's second ability to put onto the stack.
