Does Idris, Soul of the TARDIS get imprinted ETBs?

Asked by Exxie97 2 months ago

When Idris enters and imprints an artifact with an ETB triggered ability (e.x. Meteor Golem), will that ability trigger as Idris has now gained that ability? Or is the window for ETB triggers already closed after Idris imprint has been put on the stack?

The window is closed. Because Idris' ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, by the time the trigger resolves it's too late for any ETBs it gains from the Imprint to also trigger from that event. But hey, if you exile Meteor Golem you have a 10/10, which is pretty cool.

Thought that might be the case but a part of me was still hopeful. The whole idea of gaining triggered abilities was throwing me for a loop. Thanks!
