Undead Alchemist and Trepanation Balde

Asked by terminaldragon 13 years ago

I paired an Undead Alchemist with a Trepanation blade and was wondering which cards ability would happen first?

draconicmage101 says... Accepted answer #1

Trepanation Blade would occur first because its ability is what helps determine its attack boost while Undead Alchemist would occur second because its ability only happens after damage is dealt

The accepted answer is correct, but I just want to give the proper technical explanation of it. Trepanation Blade triggers when Undead Alchemist attacks, but his ability is a replacement effect that applies to the combat damage he would deal, and damage dealing happens in a later step of combat from declaring attackers.

would the creature cards that are milled from Trepanation Blade also add to the tokens received from Undead Alchemist ability?

"Yes, the second ability is open ended, any creature card put into the graveyard from the library for any reason will trigger it." never mind thank you
