Zur the Enchanter+Invocation of Saint Traft?

Asked by entheogeneral 7 years ago

What would happen if I attacked with Zur the Enchanter and used him to grab Invocation of Saint Traft? Would I get the angel immediatly or have to wait a turn? I'm leaning toward the ladder but still unsure.

Latter. A ladder is something you climb.

Nitpick aside, you have to wait. The ability that Invocation of Saint Traft grants triggers when the creature attacks. Zur the Enchanter has already attacked by the time its ability triggers, and abilities can't retroactively trigger. Since Zur didn't have the token-making ability when it attacked this turn, you won't get a trigger until the next time Zur attacks.

Thank you, that's what I was thinking. I wish it weren't so. And thanks for the correction, I haven't heard it textually in ages so I forgot its correct spelling. Better to get called out on it here than in an email to a teacher.
