Simultaneous Triggers with Glissa, the Traitor

Asked by Player3.14 6 years ago

I had some questions about the interactions that occur between Glissa, the Traitor's second (triggered ability) and some situational effects.

First off, what if Glissa is destroyed at the same time as a creature an opponent controls? (For example, both Glissa and an opponent's Wind Drake die at the same time). Would I get the trigger?

Also, what would happen if multiple creatures an opponent controls are destroyed at the same time? Let's say a Gaze of Granite destroys two of the opponent's Grizzly Bears. Would I get one or two triggers?

This'd be great to know for a Glissa EDH deck. Thanks in advance!

When multiple things change zones at the same time they "see" each other changing zones and applicable triggers will trigger. this means that if Glissa is destroyed at the same time as an opponent's creature she will trigger.

Glissa triggers once for each creature an opponent controls that dies.

Additionally, all the things are in the graveyard by the time you get to choose targets, so, for example, if your opponent controls a Wind Drake and you control a Phyrexian Metamorph that's a copy of Glissa, the Traitor and your opponent casts Wrath of God, the ability of the Glissa copy will trigger and be able to target the Phyrexian Metamorph in the grave that's the source of the trigger.
