player damaging triggered abilities

Asked by eggplant_9 6 years ago

Here's the deal. my opponent has Howling Chorus  ^Flip (transformed) with a player damage triggered ability. When this ability hits the stack I cast Restore the Peace. When Restore the Peace resolves does this remove Howling Chorus  ^Flip ability from the stack, or would my opponent get his token? I realize this may be a simple stack ruling but my group is split on this, so we need a neutral ruling. thanks!

The ability is still on the stack. Once a spell or ability is put onto the stack, it stays there until it either resolves or something else specifically counters it (or a weird effect like Glorious End removes it). Even though Restore the Peace removes Howling Chorus from the battlefield, it doesn't do anything to affect the ability already on the stack.
