Victimize triggers
Asked by lgdlord56 7 years ago
So i cast victimize targeting Grey Merchant of Asphodel and another creature in my graveyard while my opponent has a Blood Artist on the batterfield.Do i first lose a life from the artist triggering cause i saced a creature to victimize or do i gain life first?(Please give a thorough unswer)
thank your for your answer.my confusion comes from the fact that Blood Artist triggers from the resolution of victimize and the merchant from its own trigger.to my mind they happen at different times thus not following apnap

Victimize, Gary
I'm going to assume it's your turn since Victimize is a sorcery.
When Victimize resolves, a few things happen. Blood Artist triggers from you saccing a creature but waits to go on the stack until Victimize has fully resolved. Then Gary triggers and waits to go on the stack until Victimize has fully resolved.
Since there are 2 triggers waiting to go on the stack, they go on in APNAP order, meaning your trigger goes on the stack first followed by your opponent's. You'll lose the life first before gaining.
