Responding to an ETB by destroying the permanent producing the etb that applies until the permanent leaves

Asked by FillenNameer 1 year ago

Hey all, I was wondering how to handle a situation with Out of Time (or other permanents that do blank-until-it-leaves-play on an etb) when out of time enters the battlefield the effect goes on the stack, then i pass priority and my opponent responds by sacrificing Elvish Lyrist putting the destroy target on out of time. That ability resolves destroying out of time, but its effect is still on the stack. Im wondering how situations like this work when the effect is active "until blank leaves play" but as the effect resolves the thing has already left play. Thanks for any help you can offer

Fourth Oracle ruling on Out of Time:

If Out of Time leaves the battlefield before its enter the battlefield trigger resolves, creatures will untap, but they won't phase out.
