How do multiple instances of Daring Thief interact?
Asked by FergleMcMilky 9 years ago
So, the board state in question was this:Both my opponent and I had a tapped Daring Thief and an untapped Kiora's Follower . My Daring thief was enchanted with a Karametra's Favor , and I had an additional Triton Tactics in hand. My opponent cast banishing light on my daring thief, so in response I then untapped it with my Kiora's follower, to exchange control of the thieves. My opponent then did the same in response, so in response to that, I tapped my daring thief to cast triton tactics on it, untapping and exchanging control again. What should have happened?

Brilliant, thank you very much-that's not how we resolved it at the time, but that makes more sense, cheers

@Sam_I_am: Your "other hand" thought is the right one. After the topmost trigger resolves the targets for the other triggers are no longer legal. For each of them, the player no longer controls the first target and the player's opponent no longer controls the second target.

Daring Thief
Triton Tactics
Banishing Light
The last Daring Thief trigger that you've put onto the stack will resolve first, and will switch control of the permanents.
I don't know whether or not the other 2 Daring Thief triggers will fizzle or not. On one hand, their two targets are still legal sets of two targets, on the other hand, you no longer control the "permanent you control" that the spells originally targeted.
Either way, you'll end up having switched Daring Thief s effectively once, and because of that, Banishing Light will fizzle, because it's not targeting a permanent that it's controller's opponent controls
