Tormod, the desecrator triggering with escape

Asked by moo1234 3 years ago

Tormod, the Desecrator's ability simply states "whenever one or more cards leave your graveyard create a 2/2 black zombie token. I've been trying to work out wether escape would trigger twice or once for Tormod's ability:

For example, if I wanted to cast Phoenix of Ash, I don't know wether the cards you must exile count as leaving the same time as the phoenix, or if it would trigger the ability seperately as it is a different action that happens the same time you cast it?

If that makes sense. Either way. What happens. I've checked the gatherer, it has no rules for tormod and I can't find anything about escape and triggers like this anywhere else.

It will trigger twice - once from casting the spell with escape, and a second time when you're exiling cards to cast it.
