Is there a room from interaction between paying for the trigger of Nim Deathmantle and reamating?
Asked by pedroedmarcos 2 years ago
Hey there,
So, I was playing this weekend, and a player was comboing off with Nim Deathmantle and Ashnod's Altar, and a player wanted to interact after the player payed for the trigger and before the reanimation happened exiliing the creature. At least for me there's no room for interaction at this point, but I'll ask just to make sure. Let's say that the player has a Tithe Taker, with afterlife and ashnod's altar on the field and nim death mantle. He sacrifices the tithe taker, creating a trigger for the death mantle and the afterlife trigger. He resolves the afterlife first, and then sacrifice the token. So now he has 4 colorless mana to infinite loop. He let the ability of deathmantle resolves paying 4 mana and reanimating tithe taker. This is how it was played out. Once he payed 4 mana for the trigger, you can't exile the creature cause the ability already resolved and the creature now is on the battlefield, and if you exile the creature before he payed for the trigger, he'll still have 4 colorless mana cause he didn't payed for it yet right?

You have the right idea. Once Nim Deathmantle's trigger starts resolving, people have to wait until it's completely finished resolving before making responses. The mana payment happens as part of the resolution of the ability. If someone wants to exile Tithe Taker from the graveyard in your example, they have to do it before Deathmantle's trigger starts resolving.
