Falkenrath Noble's ability

Asked by warriorofgod13 13 years ago

Ok, so I have a Falkenrath Noble and 3 other creatures on the board when my opponent casts day-of-judgement. Does the noble's ability trigger for all the creatures (my other three and himself), or does he just trigger once for himself?

When Day of Judgement resolves all creatures are destroyed simultaneously (barring abilities such as regenerate and indestructibility). Falkenrath Noble and all other creatures will "see" each other go to the graveyard or whatever appropriate zone they will move to. So to answer your question: yes, Falkenrath Noble will trigger for all creatures.

if its a permanent states that whenever any creatures that are to die including Falkenrath Noble ...then you gain 1 life and and target player loses 1 life...for every death of creature..including your opponents creatures...if your opponent was to jus target the permanent Falkenrath Noble you would gain 1 life and and target player loses 1 life of course...an jus as it had died an resolved with such abilities granting you 1life target player loses 1life ..if an opponent decides to destroy all creatures and Falkenrath Noble being part of the stack along with every creature that had died....means resolves together..an a example is 3 creatures including permanent Falkenrath Noble ..will grant you 4 life gain an target player loses 4...

Take a look at the example at the end, you'll find your answer

603.6d Normally, objects that exist immediately after an event are checked to see if the event matched any trigger conditions. Continuous effects that exist at that time are used to determine what the trigger conditions are and what the objects involved in the event look like. However, some triggered abilities must be treated specially because the object with the ability may no longer be on the battlefield, may have moved to a hand or library, or may no longer be controlled by the appropriate player. The game has to "look back in time" to determine if these abilities trigger. Leaves-the-battlefield abilities, abilities that trigger when a permanent phases out, abilities that trigger when an object that all players can see is put into a hand or library, abilities that trigger specifically when an object becomes unattached, abilities that trigger when a player loses control of an object, and abilities that trigger when a player planeswalks away from a plane will trigger based on their existence, and the appearance of objects, prior to the event rather than afterward.

Example: Two creatures are on the battlefield along with an artifact that has the ability "Whenever a creature is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, you gain 1 life." Someone plays a spell that destroys all artifacts, creatures, and enchantments. The artifact's ability triggers twice, even though the artifact goes to its owner's graveyard at the same time as the creatures.
