ETBs Divergent Transformations
Asked by SinestroCorps 3 years ago
I cast Divergent Transformations targeting two of my own creatures. Terror of Mount Velus is revealed first, then Molten Primordial .
-
Do they enter the battlefield simultaneously or in the order that they were revealed?
-
If they enter simultaneously, am I able to stack their ETBs such that I gain control of opponent's creatures with Molten Primordial then give them all double strike with Terror of Mount Velus ?
Thank you!

They enter in the order they were revealed but you are able to stack the ETB triggers in the order you want to get the desired result.
Triggered abilities trigger whenever the given event happens, but they wait to go onto the stack until the next time a player would receive priority. If multiple triggers are trying to go onto the stack at the same time, first the active player puts the ones they control onto the stack in the order of their choice, then the next player in turn order puts theirs onto the stack on top of those, and so on around the table.
In your example, the Terror and Primordial both trigger while Divergent Transformations is still resolving, so the triggers have to wait until the spell is completely finished resolving before they can be put onto the stack. Since you control both triggers, you decide what order they're put onto the stack.
