Can Venerable Warsinger's ability target itself?
Asked by SteelSentry 2 years ago
I have a Venerable Warsinger equpped with a Loxodon Warhammer, and I attack with it. My opponent blocks with their Hill Giant, so the creatures trade in combat and my opponent takes 3 damage from trample. Would Venerable Warsinger be a valid target when the combat damage trigger is put on the stack?

Thank you! I couldn't remember at what point triggered abilities are put on the stack if there's SBAs to resolve.

Yes, assuming that you trampled over the 3 damage. When combat damage is dealt the Venerable Warsinger ability will trigger and lethal damage will be marked on each creature. SBAs are then checked and each creature is destroyed for having lethal damage marked on it. Then triggered abilities are put on the stack and targets chosen. The Venerable Warsinger will be in the graveyard and will be a valid target.
