Altar of Bone and Solemn Simulacrum trigger order

Asked by Angel_Of_Deathx666 9 years ago

Okay, so I sacrifice Solemn Simulacrum to Altar of Bone's additional cost... Do I draw a card first and then search my library? Or would I search my library, shuffle, and THEN draw a card?

Epochalyptik says... Accepted answer #1

The sacrifice is an additional cost to cast Altar of Bone, so it happens during the casting process. Solemn Simulacrum's ability will trigger at that time, but it won't be put onto the stack until the casting process is complete. At that time, the ability will be put onto the stack above the spell, which means that it will ultimately resolve first.

You'll draw, then search.

Alright, I appreciate the quick response! It came up when piloting my commander deck and I wanted to be sure I knew how that worked before it came up in an actual game. Thanks.
