Twin Notion Thieves

Asked by snowmaster55555atgmaildotcom 7 years ago

It is a two player game; my opponent and me. I activated Temple Bell. My opponent flashed in a Notion Thief in response, but I responded with my own Notion Thief. They both resolved, then the Temple Bell activation resolved. What happens here? Who draws cards, if at all? And if so, how many?

Each of you will draw one card.

A replacement effect (always has "as", "with", "instead" in the text) can only be applied to an event once. For each of the draws in your example, one Notion Thief will replace it by having its controller draw a card instead, but then the other Thief will replace it by having its controller draw a card. The first Thief's effect won't be applied again.
