Teysa karlov and strionic resonator
Asked by Monomanamaniac 4 years ago
If I have Teysa Karlov and Strionic Resonator in play and a Doomed Traveler in play and the traveler dies, can I use the resonator to copy the ability, allowing teysa to copy both triggers, or would each one only get me 1 trigger

Each would only get you one trigger. Teysa has a static ability that causes your triggered abilities to trigger twice. There is a distinction to drawn between a triggered ability triggering, and that ability being put onto the stack. A triggered ability triggers when its conditions are met, but is not put onto the stack until the next time a player would gain priority.
Strionic Resonator simply copies a triggered ability that is already on the stack.
So, Doomed Traveler dies, its ability triggers twice. The next time a player would gain priority, both of those triggers are placed onto the stack. Now, once you have priority, you can activate Strionic Resonator, which will copy one of the two triggered abilities on the stack. This is not an ability triggering, so Teysa has no interaction with it. You end up with three "Create a 1/1 white Spirit creature token with flying" effects on the stack now.
Edit: Gah, ninja'd. Once upon a time, didn't Tappedout warn you that another comment had been posted when you previewed your comment? How did you beat me by three whole minutes and I still didn't get that? Weird.

I don't clearly recall if TappedOut used to warn about that.
Regardless, I think you answered it better.

When Doomed Traveler dies, its ability triggers. Because a creature dying triggered the ability, Teysa Karlov 's ability causes that ability to trigger a second time. Copying the triggered ability with Strionic Resonator isn't causing any additional triggering, just duplicating the triggered ability, so it won't implicate Teysa's ability again.
Basically the way Teysa and Resonator are worded, they are each worth +1 copy of the triggered ability.
