Gempalm incinerator
Asked by proterran98 2 weeks ago
I cycle Gempalm Incinerator with a Roaming Throne and Gratuitous Violence in play.
-
Does gempalm damage trigger twice from roaming throne?
-
Would damage from gempalm be considered damage from a creature and double from gratuitous violence?

Small edit: of course Gempalm Incinerator's damage ability is triggered... my bad. Still it remains a creature CARD and the interactions don't work.

No and no.
Throne and Violence look for a "creature you control", which specifically means a creature on your side of the battlefield.
Gempalm Incinerator is a "creature card" in your hand (and every other zone except the battlefield) when you activate the cycle ability, so the other cards you mentioned won't "see" it as a creature.
Also, Roaming Throne looks for a "triggered ability" - those are always templated with either "when" or "whenever" - cycling abilities are "activated abilities" and you can identify them by the colon ":" ... they are templated as COST : EFFECT.
That being said, if you have Roaming Throne enter as a Goblin, Gempalm Incinerator will count it as one when you determine X for its ability.
