Slaughterhorn + Wild Beastmaster

Asked by Gonduin 8 years ago

The Bloodrush ability on Slaughterhorn says I must target an attacking creature. So let's say I declare attackers which includes Wild Beastmaster, and then I pay the cost and sacrifice Slaughterhorn. Which cards ability resolves first?

I want the +3/+2 from Slaughterhorn to boost my Wild Beastmaster but then have Beastmaster's ability transfer the boost to all my other creatures.

Bloodrush is an activated ability that you activate for cards in your hand. It doesn't work if the source card is on the battlefield, and it doesn't involve sacrifice.

Wild Beastmaster has a triggered ability that triggers when Wild Beastmaster attacks. The ability will be put onto the stack after attackers are declared and before players can do anything else. You can respond to this ability by activating your Slaughterhorn's bloodrush ability. If you do, then Wild Beastmaster's ability will see the buff when it checks Wild Beastmaster's power.

If you allow Wild Beastmaster's ability to resolve first, then activating bloodrush later won't affect the buff it gave to your other creatures.
