Simultaneous ETB triggers?
Asked by Omniscience_is_life 3 years ago
If I put two creatures into play at the same time, let's say with a Selvala's Stampede, and one of them is a creature that cares about others entering play, e.g. Terror of the Peaks, does the Terror trigger? Does it see the other entering, or not?
Thanks as always :)
I should mention one other thing for this specific situation, from the rulings on Selvala's Stampede:
The creature cards revealed for the wild votes all enter the battlefield at the same time, followed by the permanent cards put onto the battlefield from your hand for the free votes.
Because creatures are put into play at two different points in the spell's resolution, Terror will only trigger for creatures that it entered with or before (if it comes out in the free step, it won't trigger for creatures from the wild step).

Yes, Terror of the Peaks will trigger. It's on the battlefield when the other creature enters, so it does see the creature enter.
See Rule 603.6a:
603.6a Enters-the-battlefield abilities trigger when a permanent enters the battlefield. These are written, “When [this object] enters the battlefield, . . . “or “Whenever a [type] enters the battlefield, . . .” Each time an event puts one or more permanents onto the battlefield, all permanents on the battlefield (including the newcomers) are checked for any enters-the-battlefield triggers that match the event.
This is a big part of why the Modern Scapeshift deck works, because you can cast Scapeshift and fetch a bunch of Mountains and Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle or a bunch of different lands and Field of the Dead and get a large stack of triggers to get in a dominating position or outright kill the opponent.
