Would Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin trigger for each creature death when using Feign Death after casting The Meathook Massacre?
Asked by MartinEMcArthur 2 months ago
I’m assuming Ob wouldn’t trigger multiple times in this scenario since he’d technically already be dead once The Meathook Massacre resolves, but I figured I’d ask anyway. I was just thinking about it and wondered Maybe Feign Death could get him to trigger for each of my other creatures dying? Thanks for the clarification

Rhadamanthus Nice, that just made me love The Meathook Massacre even more. Thanks!

Yes, this will work, you just have to be specific about what order the triggers are being put onto the stack.
When multiple triggered abilities (start with "when/whenever/at") are trying to go onto the stack at the same time, first the active player (the player whose turn it is) puts their triggers onto the stack in the order of their choice, then the next player in turn order puts their triggers onto the stack on top of those, and so on around the table. In this example you can order your triggers such that the triggered ability granted by Feign Death is on top of the stack and resolves first, so Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin will be back on the battlefield when The Meathook Massacre's triggers start resolving.
This answer and explanation assume you control both Ob Nixilis and the Massacre. If you're in a game with more than 2 players and different players control Ob Nixilis and Massacre then the exact result will depend on whose turn it is and who goes after who in turn order. You can use the procedure explained above for how to put triggers on the stack to figure out what happens.
