Teferi's Puzzle Box multiple triggers?

Asked by Sinisterkid 8 years ago

If I have multiple Teferi's Puzzle Box out does it trigger more than once?

 Well, I would think the answer is yes.  The reason being is you don't have one, you have multiple on the battlefield, I mean what would the second one do on the battlefield if the effect didn't trigger more than once?  Nothing!  So I think the answer is:  yes, there would be multiple triggers for Teferi's Puzzle Box if there is more than one of the battlefield.

I'm just always confused on if things get multiple triggers and am weary of that, there always seems to be someone questioning it when I play.

 You should (this could get annoying you probably shouldn't, but I would) go find a rules and regulations page all about the mechanics of Teferi's Puzzle Box, print it out, have it signed my a judge, and then if they say anything go ahead and show them the sheet.

For any trigger, if the trigger condition is met, the ability will happen. You can have 1 Puzzle Box out, or 100. It doesn't matter how many. At the beginning of the draw step, any and all Puzzle Boxes will trigger because that is their trigger condition.

@ Benmtgmage:

Or he could just look up the official Mtg Conprehensive Rules and show his opponents the official ruling on all triggered abilities and when they trigger.

603.1. Triggered abilities have a trigger condition and an effect. They are written as [Trigger condition], [effect], and begin with the word: when, whenever, or at. They can also be expressed as [When/Whenever/At] [trigger event], [effect].

603.2. Whenever a game event or game state matches a triggered abilitys trigger event, that ability automatically triggers. The ability doesnt do anything at this point.

Just realized what I said sounded condescending. Didn't mean it in that way, my bad.
