7/10/2023 0 Comments Spark double commanderTo make this review easy, we’ll be going in WUBRG order, with white being first, and the Multi-colored stuff being last, going in an order of White, Blue, Black, Etc. However, while you do not have to agree with mine, I do ask that you humbly and respectfully respect mine and anyone else’s in the comments of this post. If that is not your jam, then by all means, you are allowed to have that opinion. I don’t play standard or modern, and have never even touched legacy or vintage, so this will be going off of a perspective of someone who plays in a 4 person political format. Obviously if a legend is better for Competitive play, I will make note of it, but I don’t really feel that competitive is the main way that EDH is enjoyed and it is a more causal format. (Before we start, a quick disclaimer: most of these reviews will be from a 4v4 Commander player perspective, and will have very little to do with a competitive EDH standpoint. ![]() I go over the new Legends from every set with my play group, so I figured why not post a proper review of the legends on here. If a choice is required when the triggered ability goes on the stack but no legal choices can be made for it, or if a rule or a continuous effect otherwise makes the ability illegal, the ability is simply removed from the stack.And welcome to the first set review I plan to post onto Amino. Once an ability has triggered, its controller puts it on the stack as an object that's not a card the next time a player would receive priority.Ħ03.3d The remainder of the process for putting a triggered ability on the stack is identical to the process for casting a spell listed in rules 601.2c-d. " Each time an event puts one or more permanents onto the battlefield, all permanents on the battlefield (including the newcomers) are checked for any enters-the-battlefield triggers that match the event.Ħ03.3. These are written, "When enters the battlefield. A modified event occurs instead, which may in turn trigger abilities.Ħ03.6a Enters-the-battlefield abilities trigger when a permanent enters the battlefield. If an event is replaced, it never happens. Here are the relevant rules for all of the above:Ħ14.12a If a replacement effect that modifies how a permanent enters the battlefield requires a choice, that choice is made before the permanent enters the battlefield.Ħ14.6. Replacement effects need their choices made before the permanent enters the battlefield whereas triggered abilities have their choices made after. This difference is both visible and notable in terms of when choices are made. Thus, Spark Double gains the ETB trigger before triggered abilities are checked. Replacement effects happen at the moment that the creature enters the battlefield, whereas enter the battlefield triggers happen at the moment immediately after that. The first is the moment that it enters the battlefield, and the second is the moment after. When a creature enters the battlefield, there are two quanta of time. Spark Double's ability is not an enter the battlefield trigger but rather an enter the battlefield replacement effect. Also, practically speaking, the copy ability could not be its own ETB, because if Spark Double entere the battlefield as a 0/0, it would generally die to state-based actions before it could assume its copied form. an ETB or activated ability, it would be too late to trigger the copied creature's ETB's. If Spark Double would copy a creature as e.g. Hypothetically, the only way that the copied creature's ETB's would not go off was if the copy ability itself was an ETB. ![]() That means all applicable ETB triggers will happen, whether they are on the copied creature, or on other sources that apply to the copied permanent entering. The event to be replaced is the Spark Double entering as a 0/0 creature, which is the consequence of a creature spell resolving. A modified event occurs instead, which may in turn trigger abilities. ![]() ![]() That means if you choose to copy a creature or planeswalker, the game does not see the non-copied Spark Double enter the battlefield, but only the copied creature/planeswalker:Ħ14.6. Spark Double's copy ability and the other modifications (counters, non-legendary) are replacement effects:Ħ14.1c Effects that read " enters the battlefield with. On the battlefield, there is no time when the game sees the non-copied version of Spark Double, and copied creature's ETB's can trigger as they would on the original. Spark Double triggers the copied creature's ETB effects because its copy ability works as a replacement effect, not as its own ETB ability.
