Can I use the stack as described in the explanation?
Asked by derbrecher72 7 years ago
So I wonder if the following scenario would work:
I play Emrakul, the Promised End. As a reaction, I put Thrumming Stone's ability on the stack. As a reaction to THAT, I activate Guiding Spirit's ability. Finally, I counter Emrakul with Cephalid Shrine.
So what I want to happen, is that Emrakul is put into my graveyard, then on top of my library and finally I cast her because she is among the 4 cards that I look at with ripple.
If you know whether or not this would work, please let me know :)

Yes it can. You just have to stack it all correctly. Because all the triggers happen upon casting, they stack in any way you want. This is what the stack will look like.
Top of stack
Cephalid Shrine's trigger
Thrumming Stone trigger.
Emrakul, the Promised End's trigger.
Emrakul, the Promised End creature spell.
Bottom of stack
In order to do this correctly, you must let Cephalid Shrine's trigger resolve before activating Guiding Spirit, and you must activate it before Thrumming Stone's trigger resolves.
