Title: Multiple Ordeal of Thassas
Post by: Mattao19 on January 15, 2014, 02:14:26 PM
I remember asking awhile ago but I forgot the answer lol and can't find my thread anyways...

I have a 1/1 {Gladecover Scout}

Then I play 3 {Ordeal of Thassas}

I then swing so do all of the ordeals fall off? Or just the one that resolves last?

When you declare the scout as an attacker, all 3 ordeals will trigger, then go on the stack. You get to choose which ones trigger first, but it won't matter since they are all the same card. Assuming the scout has 0 counter when it attacks, here is what happens:

First one resolves. Gladecover gets a counter.
Second one resolves. Gladecover gets a counter.
Third one resolves. Gladecover gets a counter and then the third ordeal is sacrificed. Third ordeal's second ability triggers and is put onto the stack. It reaolves and you draw two cards.

You end up with a 4/4 scout with 2 ordeals on it and 2 cards drawn that turn other than the card you drea in your draw step.

RESOLVED

I thought that you could trigger all since the three +1/+1 counters trigger each one?

They trigger all three. He will draw 6 cards instead. The oracle text shows 'THEN, if that creature has THREE or more +1/+1 counters on it, sacrifice ordeal of thassa...'

WOW! Never knew that the ordeal stacks had to do that. I would put one {ordeal of purphoros} on my {foundry street denizen} on the third turn and the two others on the fourth. Hmm... Seems i gotta get this right.

Just do it on a creature that gets heroic +1/+1's and you are sorted. :)
