When Zuberas die at the same time, how do their abilities resolve?
Asked by LordDavop 11 years ago
The zuberas I'm thinking about: Ashen-Skin Zubera Ember-Fist Zubera Dripping-Tongue Zubera Silent-Chant Zubera Floating-Dream Zubera
How would the abilities resolve if I had multiple on the battlefield and they were boardwiped or if I sacrificed them all at the same time?
Specifically with Zuberas, since they all care about how many Zuberas have died, if they all die at once (say to Wrath of God , they will all see each other going to the graveyard, so you'll get the full effect from each one. If there are 5 Zuberas, you'll get 5x the effect from each.
If they die one at a time to something like a card with "Sacrifice a creature" as part of the -cost- (like Ashnod's Altar and you stack them all at once without resolving any of the abilities, they'll still see only 0, 1, 2 etc other zuberas having died when the ability goes -onto- the stack, but by the time it resolves and actually checks how many, they're all dying so they all get counted like a Wrath does.
If, however, they die sequentially, say to a team of crack Goblin Sharpshooter s, each one is dying before the next, so you'll only get 1x effect on the first zubera, 2x on the second, 3x on the third etc.

Goblin Sharpshooter images seems to be wrong for some reason (I see it as being Sharuum the Hegemon ) any place we can report this? :S

Just wanted to second the Goblin Hegemon glitch. Epochalyptik, you seem to be the site's handyman. Not a big deal, just making you aware.

This is a general answer that applies to every occasion when multiple abilities trigger at the same time. There are two possible scenarios:
1. All abilities are controlled by a single player: In this case the controller of those abilities is free to choose the order in which they are put onto the stack. They are all put there together in the desired order, they they start resolving from the top one by one with a round of priority passed between each resolution.
2. Abilities are controlled by multiple players (e.g. more than one player had a Zubera on the field): First the active player (or the player closest to the active player in the direction of play) chooses the order of his or her triggered abilities and puts them onto the stack in that order, then the next player does so, and the next, until all abilities have been put onto the stack. Then they start resolving in the same fashion as in point 1, effectively making it that the abilities of the player whose turn it is resolve last.
