Vela and Rite of Replication
Asked by Strazz 7 years ago
Im told with the Legendary rule this will do 30 damage to each opponent, is this correct? if so how does it work so i have a better understanding of it myself? Thank you.
Each opponent will lose 30 life, which is different from dealing 30 damage, but yes, each Vela the Night-Clad sees the 5 that die and trigger 5 times each. If the Rite of Replication is targeting an opponent's Vela only 4 die with only 5 seeing the deaths resulting in 20 triggers for 20 life loss from each opponent.

An ability that triggers when an object leaves the battlefield (including "dies" triggers) will use information about the game from the last moment that object was on the battlefield to determine if and how it triggers. In your example, all 6 Velas were on the battlefield right before the Legend rule made you put 5 of them into the graveyard. That means all 6 of them will trigger 5 times each, and 6 x 5 = 30.
