What happens when Yahenni's Expertise is cast with Scrap Trawlerin play?
Asked by Rikon227 7 years ago
I know these cards are only from the spoilers, but I'm already thinking about interactions. Let's say I have Scrap Trawler, a 2 CMC artifact creature, and a 1 CMC artifact creature in play. I then play Yahenni's Expertise to board wipe. What happens?
Can I target only cards that were previously in the graveyard, or can Scrap Trawler target one of the other two creatures that died with it?
Also, as the creatures are still on the battlefield while Yahenni's Expertise is resolving, you will not be able to cast either using it's ability.
Also, Scrap Trawler's ability will trigger three times from Yahenni's Expertise. You may target the 2 CMC card off of Trawler's death, the 1 CMC card off of the 2's death, and likely nothing off of the 1's death. Or you can target the 1 CMC twice and not take full advantage of triggers.

You may target one of the two creatures with lesser CMC that died along with Scrap Trawler.
When they are put in the graveyard for having 0 toughness, it's ability triggers but waits to go on the stack until Yahenni's Expertise resolves fully. Once it's on the stack, the other 2 creatures are already in the graveyard and valid targets for the ability.
