Can True-Name Nemesis ETB effect be answered?
Asked by Bobgalarneau 11 years ago
Is True-Name Nemesis 's first ability a triggered ability? If yes, it uses the stack and so the nemesis can be Doom Blade d before it's ability actually resolve.
Now i know triggered ability always start by "when", "whenever" or "at". So does that mean TNN's ability is static?

It is not a triggered ability and it does not use the stack. By the time the spell resolves, and the creature is on the battlefield, it already has protection from the chosen player. Your chance to deal with TNN directly is to deal with it while it is still a spell on the stack, and not a permanent on the battlefield.
