Fork + Empty the Warrens = ?
Asked by theindigoeffect 3 years ago
I hate to ask a stupid question, but how many goblins would I get with the titular, two-card interaction and why?

You will have the original Empty the Warrens, the Storm trigger, and a copy of the original Empty the Warrens.
Before you cast Empty the Warrens, let's the storm count was 5. You then cast Empty the Warrens, so the spell it put onto the stack and then the Storm trigger is put on top of that. Storm is a triggered ability that triggers when that spell is cast. You now have an Empty the Warrens and a Storm trigger that will make 5 copies. Copying Empty the Warrens with Fork or the like will give you a copy of Empty the Warrens. When you create a copy of a spell, that copy is created on the stack and is not cast. This means the "Fork-ing" a spell with Storm still only gives you one copy. So after Fork resolves, you'll have the original Empty the Warrens, a Storm trigger that will make 5 copies, and a copy of the original Empty the Warrens.
Hope this helps!!
