Nim deathmantle and Mazirek, kraul death priest?
Asked by joeyb11223 7 years ago
Hey up quick one, if I have Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest out and another creature, with Nim Deathmantle in-play, if I sac the other creature, as it hits the graveyard can I pay and resolve Nim deathmantle to bring it back before Mazirek puts counters on my creatures due to the sac so that it benefits from the counter(s) itself? I know it works when resolving persist or undying, unsure about here...I;d have thought possibly it can be done?

Also note, you can collect multiple Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest triggers this way. That is, (1) sac the creature, (2) place triggers on the stack such that the death mantle trigger resolves first, (3) allow only the deathmantle trigger to resolve, paying four mana to return the creature, (4) before the Mazirek trigger resolves, sac the creature, (5) repeat steps 2-4 however many times you can pay for the deathmantle ability. When you're done, all of the mazirek triggers will resolve in order, and your sacrificed creature can get huge.

You would obviously need a sac outlet in there first. So let's assume the other card is Nantuko Husk.
You activate Nantuko Husks ability to sac it, the ability goes on the stack and triggers both Mazirek, Kraul Death Priest and Nim Deathmantle. You can choose to put those abilities on the stack in any order, so you put Mazireks on first, then Deathmantles.
This means Nim Deathmantles ability will resolve first, you pay the
to bring back Nantuko Husk, then Mazirek, Kraul Death Priests ability will resolve, putting +1/+1 counters on all your creatures (including Nantuko Husk) then the Husks ability will try to resolve, but fizzle as the original target no longer exists. That is because the original target changed zones, so the Nantuko Husk, while being the same card, is now a new permanent.
