Multiple Omen Machines and creature ETB

Asked by hiddengibbons 2 years ago

If I have 2 Omen Machine and cast a Sage of Epityr or Sylvan Ranger from the first Oman Machine, do I rearrange the top four cards or search for a land before the next Omen Machine trigger’s or do I finish all Omen Machine triggers before using the creature ETB triggers?

The creature will be cast and its ETB trigger will happen first.

An ability like Omen Machine that casts a card directly (as opposed to abilities like Chainer, Nightmare Adept that say "you may cast

You cast the Sage of Epityr while the first Omen Machine trigger is resolving, and then after it finishes resolving the Sage will be the next thing to resolve. It will enter the battlefield and trigger, and you will resolve its trigger to rearrange the top four cards of your library, and then finally the second Omen Machine trigger will get a chance to resolve.

Sorry, some of my answer disappeared. The first bit is supposed to read

"An ability like Omen Machine that casts a card directly (as opposed to abilities like Chainer, Nightmare Adept that say "you may cast card this turn) bypasses normal timing restrictions and lets you cast the spell during the resolution of the ability. This puts it on top of the stack, so it will resolve before anything else already on the stack does."
