Oona's Blackguard + Inexorable Tide
General forum
Posted on May 18, 2012, 6:30 a.m. by IDEAL
This has been a bit of an argument-starter between my friends and I, so I'm asking to help clear it up.
Say I have an Inexorable Tide and an Oona's Blackguard on the field.If I play a rogue,let's say a Merfolk Spy, does it enter the battlefield with one counter on it, then am I able to proliferate it for casting a spell?
Also, what if there are two Inexorable Tides on the field, do I simply proliferate twice?
Feel free to check out my deck, Oona's Taunting.
I also just realized how badly I missed the Q&A section, so sorry for that as well...

I've asked again in Q&A, so disregard this post, and I sincerely apologize for me being such a fool.

Inexorable Tide's ability is put on the stack and when you cast the spell, and Oona's Blackguard's ability is put on the stack when the creature enters the battlefield. It would look something like this:
Cast Merfolk Spy
Inexorable Tide activates and if there are no responses you proliferate (twice if you have two tides out)
Merfolk Spy resolves and enters the battlefield
Oona's Blackguard's ability activates and if there are no responses it resolves and you put a +1/+1 counter on Merfolk Spy.
