Syr Konrad from the graveyard
Asked by DINOSAURS65556 4 years ago
So the scenario is this. Syr Konrad, the Grim is in the graveyard along with any creature. If I return them to the battlefield at the same time, with a card like Rise of the Dark Realms , than do I get a Syr Konrad, the Grim trigger?

I just found out that I made a mistake here. "Leaves the battlefield" triggers aren't the only ones that look back in time. There are actually several types of triggers with this exception, and an ability that triggers when a card leaves the graveyard is one of them. Syr Konrad, the Grim won't trigger in your example. Sorry for the confusion. I'm going to go ahead and change the "Accepted Answer" to this response so people who find this topic later while searching the site will see the correct answer.
603.10a Some zone-change triggers look back in time. These are leaves-the-battlefield abilities, abilities that trigger when a card leaves a graveyard, and abilities that trigger when an object that all players can see is put into a hand or library.
603.10b Abilities that trigger when a permanent phases out look back in time.
603.10c Abilities that trigger specifically when an object becomes unattached look back in time.
603.10d Abilities that trigger when a player loses control of an object look back in time.
603.10e Abilities that trigger when a spell is countered look back in time.
603.10f Abilities that trigger when a player loses the game look back in time.
603.10g Abilities that trigger when a player planeswalks away from a plane look back in time.

Yes, Syr Konrad, the Grim will trigger for each creature that left your graveyard.
Though "leaves the battlefield" triggered abilities will look back to right before an event happened to determine if and how they trigger, all other triggered abilities check the game state right after an event happens. In your example, this means the game will see Syr Konrad on the battlefield when it's time to check on whether anything was supposed to trigger when Rise of the Dark Realms moved all the creatures from the graveyard to the battlefield.
