Double triggers for Overwhelmed Apprentice

Asked by legendofa 8 months ago

With Yarok, the Desecrated out, Overwhelmed Apprentice causes each opponent to mill 2 twice when it enters. Does it also let you scry 2 twice, or is that not part of the ETB ability, since it's a separate clause/sentence?

It's part of the same ability. Keyword abilities (first strike, flying etc.) are just separated by commas, but all other kinds of abilities are separated by paragraph breaks. The opponents mill 2, then you scry 2, then the opponents mill 2 again, then you scry 2 again. Note that since they're separate instances of the trigger, players can make a response after the first trigger resolves but before the second one starts.
