I've got a good one. Metallic Mimic being returned to the battlefield with Supernatural Stamina in the middle of casting another tribal Creature.

Asked by Argy 6 years ago

This is a good one.

So, I've got one Metallic Mimic on the battlefield, for which I chose "Minotaur".

I cast another Metallic Mimic. Before it resolves my Opponent targets the Metallic Mimic on the field with Harnessed Lightning. I then target the same Creature with Supernatural Stamina.

NOW, does it return to the battlefield BEFORE my other Metallic Mimic (for which I am also going to choose "Minotaur") or not?

I think the stack goes:

1. Summon Metallic Mimic
2. Cast Harnessed Lightning in response, targeting the Metallic Mimic on the field
3. Cast Supernatural Stamina in response, targeting the Metallic Mimic on the field
4. Stack resolves
5. Metallic Mimic on the field dies to Harnessed Lightning, then returns tapped to the battlefield, due to Supernatural Stamina
6. Summon Metallic Mimic spell resolves - I choose "Minotaur" - it receives a +1/+1 counter

I'm not 100% sure of this. It might be that I have the timing wrong and the Metallic Mimic being cast can't see the other one in time.

Thanks for any help.

Your interpretation of the stack here is essentially accurate, though remember that when the first Metallic Mimic comes back thanks to Supernatural Stamina, you need to choose a creature type again (though of course you can just choose Minotaur again).
