How do cards returning from exile stack up

Asked by Whoodini 7 months ago

i have Sanguine Bond in my graveyard. Resurgent Belief and Heroes Remembered are exiled both with 1 counter remaining. Does Resurgent Belief return Sanguine Bond before Heroes Remembered Heals me for 20?

You get to choose which order to cast Heroes Remembered and Resurgent Belief in. If you choose to cast Resurgent Belief be the first spell out of suspend, the sequence of events is

  1. Your upkeep starts, triggering the suspend effects.

  2. You order the triggers so ResBelief's trigger resolves first, remove the last counter from it, and cast the spell. Heroes's trigger is still on the stack.

  3. ResBelief resolves, returning all enchantments (including Sanguine Bond) from your graveyard to play.

  4. Heroes's trigger resolves. You remove the last counter from it and cast it.

  5. Heroes Remembered resolves, gaining you life to trigger SBond.

  6. SBond's trigger resolves, and one of your opponents loses life.

So as long as you set it up so Resurgent Belief resolves first, you can get Sanguine Bond before gaining life from Heroes Remembered.

All right so i have a follow up question: Can i use Reality Strobe to return Out of Time to my hand if both turn to 0 counters at my upkeep? i mean since i resolve Reality Strobe first Out of Time is still a permanent at that moment no? And it just doesnt resolve anymore because it returned to my hand? Now ofcause all creatures are free but atleast i have a new go right?
