How does Brago, King Eternal, Sol Ring, Strionic Resonator, and Oblivion Ring Work?
Asked by Jester57 9 years ago
My friend used this combo against me and exiled all my permanents forever. He tried to explain how it works but I still don't understand. May someone please explain this to me?

Brago's ability triggers, targeting Strionic Resonator, Oblivion Ring, and Sol Ring. In response to the ability, activate Strionic Resonator targeting Brago's ability. A copy is created with all the same targets.
They all re-enter as the copied ability resolves. Then Oblivion Ring's ETB ability triggers, targeting one of your non-land permanents.
In response to the ETB trigger of O-ring, activate Strionic Resonator again targeting the original Brago ability that's still on the stack, flickering the same targets as before.
Oblivion Ring's leave play ability triggers and resolves, returning nothing to play because it's ETB ability has not resolved yet. Repeat this for each non-land permanent he wants.
When the etb abilities from Oblivion Ring resolve, the targeted permanent will be exiled but since the leave play ability had already happened, it stays exiled permanently.
