Can Skirge Familiar's mana pay for Drake Haven's trigger?

Asked by Captain_Howel 2 years ago

I have in play a Skirge Familiar and a Drake Haven. I discard a card to create B through Skirge Familiar, and the discard triggers Drake Haven. Can I use that B to pay the 1 for Drake Haven's trigger? Or is that mana not created until after the decision is made to pay or not, meaning I would need to float 1 mana beforehand?

You can use the Skirge Familiar to pay the trigger off of Drake Haven tofor the card you discarded to make the mana. Skirge Familiar has a mana ability and mana abilities don't use the stack and resolve immediately.
