Inexorable Tide + Planeswalker
Asked by lil_cheez 11 years ago
When I cast a planeswalker spell, Inexorable Tide
will trigger, allowing a proliferation.
Can I proliferate the Loyalty of the planeswalker I just cast?
No. Inexorable Tide only triggers on cast. your planeswalker is not on the battlefield for Inexorable Tide to see.

Both of the above answers are correct. Abilities that trigger when a spell is cast will be placed on the stack above that spell and resolve prior to that spell's resolution.
In the case of the spell being a permanent card, the triggered ability will resolve before that permanent enters the battlefield.

Epochalyptik: I understand that, but in order for the planeswalker to have been able to be a valid receipt of the proliferation effect trigger, it would have to have already been in play before that spell was cast. The question was asked if the casting of said planeswalker would allow it to gain another counter while it was still being resolved, and I was fairly certain I answered that to the best of my knowledge. I apologize if I have confused anyone, as that was not my intent.

@DrLitebur: I didn't say you were wrong. You had a correct answer. I was just pointing out a technical detail.

In thinking on it, the Planeswalker would have to have resolved in order to be a legal target, and since it would still be on the stack, no. Now if it were already in play, that is another matter.
