Timing interaction: Brago, King Eternal, Sky Hussar and Persistent Petitioners
Asked by CamraMaan 1 year ago
Three Persistent Petitioners are in play, as well as Sky Hussar and Brago, King Eternal, and I attack unblocked with Brago. I flicker all three of the Petitioners and the Hussar. The Petitioners "enter" first, if that order matters (don't they all enter together...?). When the Hussar enters the battlefield and triggers, can I tap the three Petitioners in response, putting their mill trigger on the stack before the Sky Hussar would then untap them...?
Similarly, what if Yorion, Sky Nomad is in play instead of Sky Hussar, and Brago flickers Yorion and the Petitioners? Can I tap the Persistent Petitioners in response to Yorion's ETB trigger, then have him flicker them and effectively untap them? I won't get to use them until the next player's turn though, right? Or could they potentially be used at the end of my turn, after they ETB, but before my turn officially ends? It matters if you're milling the next player to death. Sorry to ask multiple questions.
Thanks in advance! :)

yes. since both yorion and hussar are triggered abilities, you will receive priority before they happen. you can activate the petitioners between those triggers

and to answer the second question, yes, you also get priority during your end step after yorion brings everything back, or even during your next opponents upkeep before they draw

koylucumert is correct. I'll also just add that, yes, all those creatures enter the battlefield at the same time. If you instead flickered creatures with ETB abilities, they would all trigger at the same time and you get to choose the order in which they are put on the stack and therefore resolve. Regardless of this order though, the creatures still all entered at the same time.

Ha! My silly brain... not three Persistent Petitioners, but four, obviously. I was just reading another card right before I wrote that... forgot which card required three and four. Oy... sorry. This A.D.D. thing, it's a wild ride sometimes.
