Possessed Portal Workaround

Asked by maR2307 9 years ago

Does Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar work around Possessed Portal ?

It depends which has the most recent timestamp. If the Portal was first, Azami's ability takes precedence. If Azami was first, no cards for you!

So I couldn't choose which effect would activate first? Whatever is second would "override" the first card's effect essentialy

KrosanTusker is incorrect. When multiple replacement effects for the same action are affecting you, you may choose which effect you would like to use. In this case, it is likely advantageous to use the replacement effect of Tomorrow, Azami's Familiar , but it's your choice of the two.

@maR2307: Note that nothing "activates."

Only activated abilities can be activated. Nothing randomly activates on its own.

Triggered abilities trigger when a certain condition is true or when a certain event occurs.

Static abilities are always "true."

In this case, we have two static abilities that each create a replacement effect. When multiple replacement effects could apply to the same event, the affected player chooses their order. If, after the first replacement effect is applied, none of the other replacement effects could apply, they don't.
