Maelstrom Wanderer and Jodah, the Unifier Triggering together

Asked by pedroedmarcos 2 years ago

Hey there,

I'm building a new EDH deck, and its the first time I'm playing with cascade. My question is, Maelstrom wanderer will cascade twice. But What if I cascade into a Jodah? and another legendary creature (let's say Erinis, Gloom Stalker)? Will Jodah see the the other cascade and trigger his effect?

Jodah only triggers when you cast the spell from your hand. He will not trigger for the cascade trigger, or retroactively for Wanderer.


For the purpose of your question though, lets use Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty.

Maelstrom Wanderer has this ruling: "Each instance of cascade triggers and resolves separately. The spell you cast due to the first cascade ability will go on the stack on top of the second cascade ability. That spell will resolve before you exile cards for the second cascade ability. (2020-11-10)"

Say on the first cascade, we spin into Imoti. We finish the cascade ability by casting her (and then resolve her cascade).

Now we resolve Wanderer's second cascade. If we reveal something 6+, Imoti will trigger because she was on the field when we revealed, and cast the card (If Jodah didn't have "from hand", then flipping into another legendary off the second cascade would trigger for the same reason).


The two cascades are independent, and anything found off the first will be able to see and trigger off the second if trigger conditions are met.

edit: Jodah will not trigger for whatever is found off the second cascade trigger
