Curse of Clinging Webs and Hofri Ghostforge

Asked by Swebb87 3 years ago

I think this is a priority based question, but unsure. If I am playing Hofri Ghostforge and he is in play and someone enchants me with Curse of Clinging Webs, who gets to decide who exiles my non token creatures? As they both say whenever another non token creature I control dies, exile it

It is a priority issue, yeah.

Triggered abilities are put on the stack in APNAP (Active Player, Non-Active Player) order. During your turn, you are the Active Player, and your opponent is the Non-Active Player. In a multiplayer game, each player after you in turn order is the next Non-Active Player.

However, the stack is first-in, last-out. So, if your Hofri Ghostforge's ability triggers first, it'll resolve last. If it tries to exile a card from your graveyard that's already left there, the ability will fail to do anything when it resolves.

So, on your turn if your creature dies, it'll be exiled to Curse of Clinging Webs' ability. On your turn, it'll be exiled to Hofri's ability. In a multiplayer game on neither of your turns, it'll be exiled to the ability of the permanent controlled by whosever turn is furthest away from the Active Player's turn.

Really sorry Yesterday but I don't understand the last paragraph as you say on your turn twice so it doesn't make it clear? Can you elaborate please? Thanks

Sorry, typo.

So, on your turn if your creature dies, it'll be exiled to Curse of Clinging Webs' ability. On your *opponent's turn, it'll be exiled to Hofri's ability.

Note that Curse of Clinging Webs doesn't care about whether it was actually able to exile the creature (there's no "if you do", like on Hofri Ghostforge), so the opponent always gets the Spider.
