Would Fiery Encore still trigger with Library of Leng?
Asked by Eldrazi13 3 years ago
I am working on a Wheel deck and I wanted to know if this interaction would work or not before I put it in. Fiery Encore's second ability will burn target creature for the mana cost of the card discarded, but what I'm wondering is if Library of Leng's replacement effect would prevent that damage since the card wasn't technically discarded, or would it just be treated as if it was revealed?

To your question about if a card discarded with Encore is technically discarded or not, Library of Leng's updated text says
"If an effect causes you to discard a card, discard it, but you may put it on top of your library instead of into your graveyard."
So a discard is still considered a discard with this card out--but Rhadamanthus is correct about what happens with this particular interaction.

Unfortunately no, this won't work. Since the card goes directly from one hidden zone to another (hand and library are the game's two hidden zones) and Fiery Encore doesn't specifically say to reveal it, it won't be revealed as it moves. Fiery Encore won't be able to get any information about its type, mana value, or anything.
