Ordeal of Nylea and Shattergang Brothers

Asked by aarontoomey 9 years ago

If I have Ordeal of Nylea Enchanting Shattergang Brothers and I attack and I put the 3rd Counter on it, could I use his ability to sacrifice my Ordeal of Nylea and cause opponents to sacrifice and enchantment and still cause me to get my 2 lands because it says when sacrificed search? Or would i have to do it on the 2nd counter to be able to still sacrifice it?

From the Oracle:

9/15/2013 If you sacrifice the Ordeal in some other way, its last ability will trigger.

If the third counter is added to Ordeal of Nylea , it will be sacrificed as part of the resolution of the same ability that put the counter on, so you won't have time to also sacrifice it to Shattergang Brothers .

However you can sacrifice it to Shattergang Brothers -before- that and still get both effects.

What you would want to do for the best result is to attack with the creature. With the trigger on the stack from the Ordeal of Nylea use Shattergang Brothers to sacrifice it also making the 2nd ability trigger. Once those two are done you will still be able to place the +1/+1 counter on your attacking creature when it finally resolves.
