How will Eruth, Tormented Prophet interact with Zur's Weirding with both on the battlefield at the same time.

Asked by ArmchairRuler 1 year ago

I am thinking of adding Zur's Weirding to my Eruth, Tormented Prophet deck to help even out the drawback of having my card revealed every turn. My question is how will Zur's Weirding interact with Eruth's effect? Is this dependant on which was played more recently? Can I play Zur's Weirding then play Eruth to negate the drawback only for myself?

If you would draw a card you may reveal the top card of your library and any player may pay two life to have you put it into your graveyard. If no player does, you'll exile the top two cards (including the one you revealed) of your library and be able to play them that turn. Alternatively you can just exile the top two cards without asking the question about life in the first place. This is because you are the one drawing the card, and there are two replacement effects trying to apply. You'll choose one and then check again if any are relevant. If you apply Zur's Weirding you may or may not be drawing a card now, so Eruth will only apply if you still are. If you apply Eruth first, you won't be drawing a card, so Zur's Weirding will not apply.
