Deadly Dispute and Myr Retriever

Asked by K4nkato 10 months ago

If I sacrifice Myr Retriever to Deadly Dispute do I draw two cards or grab an artifact from my graveyard first?

You will return the artifact first. The first step of casting a spell or activating an ability is to put it on the stack. It is not until later in the casting process that costs are paid. When the costs are paid the Myr Retriever will trigger and the trigger will wait to be put on the stack until a player would receive priority immediately after the process for casting Deadly Dispute. When the player would receive priority Myr Retriever's ability will be put on the stack above Deadly Dispute and will therefore resolve first.
