Teferi's ageless insight and alhammarret's archive

Asked by Monomanamaniac 3 years ago

So quick question, the interaction between Teferi's Ageless Insight and Alhammarret's Archive. So the way i've understood it is this: you play Brainstorm, insight sees the brainstorm and says "draw 6 instead" then the archive sees this and says "draw 12 instead" and that's that. Now I was told, I believe incorrectly, that these two cards would continue to see the new cards being drawn and would essentially draw to infinite. I've also been told that these effects don't stack, so I wanted to see if that was true. I do think they stack but I don't think they go infinite, I think at the point where the second effect replaces the draw they've both applied a replacement effect to the draw and thus won't apply further replacement effects.

As you have surmised, they stack but don't go infinite since once a replacement effect has been applied that effect won't repeatedly affect the event/modified event.

Comprehensive Rules:

614.5. A replacement effect doesn’t invoke itself repeatedly; it gets only one opportunity to affect an event or any modified events that may replace that event.
