Meldweb Curator and Harmonic Prodigy
Asked by 9-lives 1 year ago
If I have Harmonic Prodigy on the battielfield, and I have Meldweb Curator enter the battlefield, would Meldweb Curator's ability trigger twice? I know that it can't enter the battlefield twice, but I wonder if the ability will trigger twice?
Are you sure? It says 'Whenever ETB', so wouldn't that precondition mean it doesn't trigger again?

That's just defining the triggering event for the ability, which every triggered ability has. "When [this creature] enters the battlefield...", "Whenever you cast a noncreature spell....", "Whenever a creature on opponent controls dies..." etc.
Harmonic Prodigy's thing is that it causes triggered abilities to trigger multiple times instead of just once after the triggering event happens. In your example:
-
Meldweb Curator enters the battlefield
-
That event causes its ETB triggered ability to trigger
-
The triggered ability is from a Wizard, so Harmonic Prodigy's effect is applied and the ability triggers again
-
The two triggers are put onto the stack and you choose targets for them

Yes. Meldweb Curator is a Wizard, so Harmonic Prodigy will cause its ETB triggered ability to trigger an additional time.
