Hi guys,
so how does this best work?
1. After paying 2 and tapping the Resonator, when I attack with Mirko Vrosk who is equpped with Fireshrieker... does that mean that a total of four (4) triggered abilities go on the stack? making opponents discard until revealing 16 lands? (4+4) + (4+4)
2. Does the activation order matter? should I always tap the Resonator first and then attack? or is there some special reason to wait until triggered ability's trigger ("deal combat damage") happens and then activate the Resonator.
3. I remember some cards can let me Twiddle an artifact, i could be able to Pay 2 and tap, Twiddle-untap, then Pay 2 more and tap again the Resonator. If I did that, and then attacked with double-strike Mirko Vrosk, does that mean that a total of six (6) triggered ability effects go on the stack? making oponents reveal and discard from library until a total of 24 lands? (4+4) + (4+4) + (4+4)
thanks

I will answer this after I link the cads to remeber what everything does! :P
When posting a rules question, try to remember to link cards with curly brackets so we can remember what they do. It makes everything easier. Example {Crafterhoof Behemoth} (Quote this post to see what I mean)
Ok here goes.

1. First, you can't activate the Resonator until the abilities trigger and go on the stack. (You know what the stack is, right?). Second,
you can only copy one of those 2, because they don't actually trigger at the same time. You could only copy 1 anyway, but one mill trigger happens after the first strike damage step, and one after the normal combat damage step.
2.
You HAVE to wait until the triggered ability's trigger happens. This is because before that the ability is not on the stack and there is no target for the Resonater's ability. (Copy
target triggered...)
3. You could use {Twiddle} and activate the Resonater again, but like question 1
you only get one extra mill trigger for a total of 4.I underlined the important parts in case you don't feel like reading that whole thing. :P
Hope this helps!

+1 for such detail!
many thanks!
because of your example I have learned how to link to cards (didn't see how in FAQ or Before you Post)
please enjoy a precious stone as token of my appreciation, on the house, here you go: {Emerald Charm}
