How does Karona and Verdent Embrace interact?

Asked by Aroix 7 years ago

If I play Karona, False God and proceed to enchant it with Verdant Embrace, as Karona, False God is bounced around the table who gets the tokens? How does this effect with the stack at the beginning of the current players upkeep?

Thank you for your help.

Sorry had a facepalm moment. Verdent embrace has the following rules:The token is put onto the battlefield under the control of the player who controls the enchanted creature, not the player who controls Verdant Embrace.

Though how to place this on the stack would still be appreciated.

Karona is the source of two abilities: one that donates Karona to the active player and one that creates a token. At the beginning of each upkeep, both of these abilities trigger, and both are owned by Karona's current controller (who should, in most cases, be the player whose turn it was previously).

It doesn't actually matter how that player chooses to stack the abilities, as he or she owns both of them and ownership of the token-creating ability will not change even if control of Karona changes.

The end result is that, on each upkeep, the active player gets Karona and the previous player gets a token.
