How would you order triggered abilities when creatures die?
Asked by StopShot 7 years ago
I have three different question for three scenarios that are related with each other.
Question 1: Let's say I have Enduring Renewal on the battlefield along with a creature and a Swamp. I decide to cast Mind Swords for it's alternative cost sacrificing the creature to pay the cost. Would the creature return back to my hand due to Enduring Renewal before or after Mind Swords resolves?
Question 2: Similar to question 1. Let's I have Skullclamp equipped to a creature I control and a Swamp. I decide to cast Mind Swords for its alternative cost sacrificing the equipped creature to pay the cost. Would I draw the two cards from Skullclamp before or after Mind Swords resolves?
Question 3: Felidar Guardian is in my graveyard and I decide to cast Animate Dead targeting the Felidar Guardian. Once Felidar Guardian is on the battlefield I then use its enter the battlefield effect to exile or "flicker" the Animate Dead. If Animate Dead is exiled in this manner would Felidar Guardian be in my graveyard before or after the Animate Dead comes back into play? Would the Animate Dead coming back into play be able to return the same Felidar Guardian back onto the battlefield?
Thank you for the help!
Before, before, and no is correct answer.

@pskinn01, Could you clarify your answers to each question better? Question 1 and 2 ask whether it occurs before or after. Question 3 also asks before or after and if Animate Dead can still bring back Felidar Guardian. Thanks!

The first two, the spell is cast, and then the triggered ability goes on top the triggered ability would resolve first.
In the second, you would exile, and then return animate dead. Then you would say the creature that animate dead was attached to, so the animate dead can not target the original creature it was attached to.
