Would triggered effects stack?

Asked by Eldrazi13 1 year ago

I was planning on using Isshin, Two Heavens as One, Heart-Piercer Bow and Helm of the Host and I wanted to double check their interactions. Would they all trigger simultaneously on attack or could I choose Helm then Heart piercer or vice versa?

Helm of the Host triggers at the beginning of combat, not when a creature attacks. So, since the beginning of combat is a step and it comes before the declare attackers step it will always go on the stack and resolve before attackers are declared. Helm of the Host's trigger is also unaffected by Isshin since it triggers on a step starting and not on a creature attacking. Heart-Piercer Bow triggers when equipped creature is declared as an attacker. It will therefore trigger on the declare attackers step and be affected by Isshin's ability.

Thanks Gidgetimer, I guess I misread Helm's effect and thought it triggered on attack.
