Timing with Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer
Asked by any_response 1 year ago
Hello swarm intelligence :)
I have looked into Oskar, Rubbish Reclaimer, absolutely love him, but want to check how his timing works exactly as i am still confused.
-
I suppose that if several cards go into my graveyard at the same time (e.g. in my discard at the end of my turn), i can play a Mana Crypt or Dark Ritual to pay for other spells discarded at the same time that resolve later. Is that correct?
-
Do i have to choose the order the order and number of cards i want to cast the moment they hit the graveyard, or can i wait for 1 or 2 of these cards to resolve and then decide what to cast next (if all cards are dicarded and played with oskar).
-
Is there any possibility to counter my own spell (cast a 0-drop and immeadiately counter it with An Offer You Can't Refuse, or would i have to cast that counter from my hand to get the right timing?
Thank you in advance for your help!

Thank you a lot for the answers! In scenario 3, i meant a situation where you discard both, the 0-drop and the offer, but i suppose if i got the stack right, both oscar triggers go on the stack, and if i cast the 0-drop, it will already have resolved as i get to the second spell (being An Offer You Can't Refuse), correct?

1) Since Oskar's second ability is a triggered ability, and multiple instances would occur at the same time, you choose the order they resolve in (First In, Last Out), so you can have the Mana Crypt / Dark Ritual related ability be the last to trigger, and therefore the first to resolve. Their mana would then be available for other spells if you wished.
2) "Whenever you discard a nonland card" - You have to choose the order immediately. "You may cast it from your graveyard" - but you only have to choose whether or not you want to cast when the related ability resolves.
3) I'm assuming you've discarded An Offer You Can't Refuse in this scenario. You would be unable to cast (and therefore counter) a new 0 drop as the stack is not empty; there are Oskar triggers on it.
However, if you cast something like Thrill of Possibility, because the discard is an additional cost, Oskar's ability would trigger over it, allowing you to cast An Offer You Can't Refuse targeting Thrill of Possibility
