Opalescence and Humility
Asked by Colten_Lee 9 years ago
What would happen if 2 copies of each entered at the exact same time??
Working on a casual shenanigans deck and wondering if there are any here.

I'm sorry the active player at the time gets to chose the timestamp order for multiple things entering at the same time.
613.6j If two or more objects would receive a timestamp simultaneously, such as by entering a zone simultaneously or becoming attached simultaneously, the active player determines their relative timestamp order at that time.

This is so popular it's mentioned explicitly on Gatherer's Opalescence page.
With a Humility and two Opalescences on the battlefield, if Humility has the latest timestamp, then all creatures are 1/1 with no abilities. If the timestamp order is Opalescence, Humility, Opalescence, the second Opalescence is 1/1, and the Humility and first Opalescence are 4/4. If Humility has the earliest timestamp, then everything is 4/4.

Okay So I would choose the timestamps then it would result accordingly. My problem was not realizing I would get to choose the timestamps.

If the time stamps are the same the controller of the effects gets to choose which order they apply in. I'll find the rule shortly.
