Bone Splinter's Order of Effects

Asked by FearenRehnet 11 years ago

Let's say that i have a Lotleth Troll and Savra, Queen of the Golgari on the field.Then i cast Bone Splinters to destroy, let's say a Boros Elite . (I sacrfice Lotleth Trol as the additional cost)

Do you gain life and does the opponent lose life before or after Boros Elite it destroyed?

So heres what happens, step by step.

Step 1: You cast bone splinters sacrificing lotleth troll.

Step 2: Savra's first and second ability triggers. This happens before step 3 because you cast the spell THEN the ability goes on stack, which leads us to...

Step 3: Bone splinters resolves.

I hope this was sufficient enough :)

The abilities would resolve before the spell.

You cast Bone Splinters and sacrificing is part of the cost to cast the spell. That puts Bone Splinters on the stack. Savra, Queen of the Golgari abilities would then trigger, putting 2 new items on the stack - as the controller you decide the order. If everyone passes then it starts resolving from top to bottom.
