Does Ancient Greenwarden cause all ETBs of creatures to trigger if I have Ashaya, Soul of the Wild is on the battlefield?
Asked by JoyTheEnbySliverLover 2 years ago
Like say if Essence Warden was out and a creature entered the battlefield, would it trigger twice because that creature is also a land when it is entering the battlefield?

Polaris Thanks for answering, I didn't realise my question already had an answer in the rulings. I never even thought to check as I thought the question was too obscure but evidently it wasn't and I now look a bit of a fool.

Yes, Essence Warden will trigger twice in this scenario. While Essence Warden 's ability is looking for creatures, the creature that triggered the ability was a land, so it counts as a land entering the battlefield having triggered an ability.
This is also mentioned in the rulings for Ancient Greenwarden :
The trigger event doesn’t have to specifically refer to “lands.” For example, an ability that triggers “whenever a creature enters the battlefield under your control” would trigger twice if the entering land is also a creature. (2020-09-25)
