Does Grave Pact or Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts trigger first?

Asked by tlmartin285 8 years ago

I have out Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts, and my friend has out a Grave Pact. If he attacks me and does combat damage to me, can I sacrifice the 1/1 tokens created by Teysa to satisfy Grave Pact? Or do I have to sacrifice BEFORE the tokens are created?

Let's say you're attacked by a 2/2.

The 2/2 attacks and isn't blocked. Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts's ability triggers.

When Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts's ability resolves, it will destroy the 2/2 and you'll create a token.

Remember that nothing interrupts the resolution process, so even though Grave Pact's ability triggers as soon as you destroy the 2/2, it won't be put into the stack until after the resolution of Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts's ability is complete. You'll have the token long before Grave Pact's ability begins to resolve.
