Copying Terror of the Peaks
Asked by DemonDragonJ 3 years ago
Now that there is finally a creature version of Warstorm Surge in the form of Terror of the Peaks, I wish to ask: how many times will its ability trigger if it is copied with a kicked Rite of Replication? As a bonus question, if its ability triggered from itself entering the battlefield (which it really should have, in my mind), how many times would it trigger when copied?

Ok, when Rite of Replication resolves, five copies of Terror of the Peaks with enter the battlefield. So, you will get 5 triggers from the original Terror. Then, each token will "see" the others enter. Each of the five copies will see each of the other four copies enter. That gives you 20 triggers. So altogether, you'll get 25 triggers.
If Terror of the Peaks triggered itself on ETB, you'd get another 5 triggers, one from each token.
After something happens in the game, the game checks any game object that exists immediately after the event to see if any triggers might have triggered. That's why the tokens will trigger each other. There are exceptions to this, such as death triggers, but they don't really apply to ETBs.
Hope that helps!!
