Does Living Death bringing back Scourge of Valkas with a whole load of other dragons trigger Scourge?

Asked by oshen 8 years ago

Let's say I use Scion of the Ur-Dragon to fill my graveyard with 10 dragons including at least 1 Scourge of Valkas. Then I cast Living Death removing my 1 Scion of the Ur-Dragon and filling my board with a plethora of dragons and Scourge of Valkas. Does Scourge of Valkas trigger for each dragon entering with it? I'm aware that each trigger deals damage equal to the number of dragons in play at resolution.

My thinking is that it does see the other 9 dragons entering with it and therefor 10 triggers go on the stack along with any other triggers in whichever order I decide to put them. Then each resolves seeing 10 dragons and I get a total of 100 damage upon resolution of all the abilities.

Permanents entering the battlefield at the same time "see" each other. So yes, Scourge of Valkas will trigger a total of 10 times, normally dealing 10 damage each to a target creature or player.

I'm writing normally, because the number of dragons is calculated on resolution. So until one of the abilities actually resolves, your opponents are free to cast Fated Retribution, and you'll be where you started, minus one Scion of the Ur-Dragon.
