Who decides the order of two simultaneous triggered abilities, the controller or the player affected?

Asked by ArmchairRuler 11 months ago

If I were to have Stolen Strategy and Plargg and Nassari on the battlefield at once, would I get to layer the triggers or would an opponent be allowed to decide?

With triggers the player who controls the triggers decides what order they are put on the stack. In this scenario both abilities are triggers and you would put them on the stack in the order of your choosing.

With replacement effects (such as on Furnace of Rath and Torbran, Thane of Red Fell) the affected player or the affected object's controller chooses the order they are applied. This is often the source of confusion.
