Derevi, Empyrial Tactician x Kazandu Tuskcaller

Asked by hatedbysociety 8 years ago

So I have Kazandu Tuskcaller at level 2 and I attack and deal combat damage with say 5 other creatures while also having Derevi, Empyrial Tactician all on the battlefield. Now is it legal for me to use Kazandu Tuskcaller's tap ability then untap using Derevi, Empyrial Tactician's ability and switching back and forth between the 2 cards in order to produce 6 3/3 green elephant creature tokens all at once?

Yes. You can activate the Elephant ability in response to each of the triggers, so it will work.

Note that you don't produce the tokens "all at once." You'll produce one token, untap, produce another, etc. You have to respond to each ability, and you can't just put six instances of Kazandu Tuskcaller's ability onto the battlefield, so there will be plenty of time for players to respond.

I believe this is how it works: Derevi, Empyrial Tactician's ability triggers x5. For each of the abilities you choose Kazandu Tuskcaller as the target. Now you have 5 abilities on the stack that will untap Kazandu Tuskcaller. If you tap him after each of the different triggers, you will get a token for each untap. If your opponent were to kill Kazandu Tuskcaller before any of the abilities resolve, you will not untap any permanent, for the target is gone for each of the abilities that targeted him.
