In what order would Marrow-Gnawer and Ogre Slumlord

Asked by DeathBySprnkles 4 years ago

If I have a Marrow-Gnawer and an Ogre Slumlord and I sacrifice a rat, like Rancid Rats , in what order would there occur? Would sacrificing the nontoken rat cause the Ogre Slumlord to trigger during Marrow-Gnawer 's ability or do I finish Gnawer's effect and then do the Slumlord?

Ogre Slumlord will trigger while you're activating Marrow-Gnawer 's ability. This means you get a token from the Slumlord before resolving the effect of Marrow-Gnawer's ability.

Sacrificing the rat is not part of the resolution of Marrow-Gnawer ’s activated ability, it is part of the cost (sacrificing the rat is before the colon). Therefore there will be a round of priority before Marrow-Gnawer ’s ability resolves. It is at this time that all triggered abilities that are waiting to be put to the stack are put on the stack.

In the stated situation, If you have an Ogre Slumlord , its ability would have triggered upon the death of a nontoken rat (when you sacrificed the rat to Marrow-Gnawer ’s ability) and put on the stack above Marrow-Gnawer ’s ability which is still waiting to resolve.
