Do tokens enter the battlefield?

A token is a marker used to represent any permanent that isn’t represented by a card. 111.2. The player who creates a token is its owner. The token enters the battlefield under that player’s control.

Are enter the battlefield effects triggered abilities?

Conversely, if an effect reads “All creatures lose all abilities” and a creature card with an enters-the-battlefield triggered ability enters the battlefield, that effect will cause it to lose its abilities the moment it enters the battlefield, so the enters-the-battlefield ability won’t trigger.

Can you kill a creature before it enters the battlefield?

For you to be able to destroy it, it needs to have entered the battlefield first. The EtB ability will happen, even if the creature is killed. A slightly more complicated way of thinking about it involves “the Stack”.

Can you stack EtB triggers?

If more than one of the abilities is controlled by the same player, that player can put them onto the stack in the order of their choice.

Can you respond to ETB?

Once a triggered ability is placed on the stack, players can respond to it. He may indeed cast Fall of the Hammer before Shadowborn Demon’s ETB resolves. Fall of the Hammer will resolve first (having been placed on the stack last).

Can triggered abilities be countered?

A triggered mana ability doesn’t go on the stack, so it can’t be targeted, countered, or otherwise responded to.

Who stacks triggers MTG?

Specifically, “each player, in [Active Player, Nonactive Player] order, puts triggered abilities he or she controls on the stack in any order he or she chooses” (C.R. 603.3b; that rule cites C.R. 101.4).

Do you control creatures on the stack?

In its targetting clause, Cloudshift says “creature” without any of the specified words, so it’s referring to a creature permanent on the battlefield. Only objects on the stack or on the battlefield have a controller. Objects that are neither on the stack nor on the battlefield aren’t controlled by any player.

Does countering an ability destroy it?

Hope is free. Countering an ability of a permanent (such as with Disallow) doesn’t destroy that permanent (all it does is remove that ability from the stack [C.R. 701.5a]); if a spell does more than counter that ability it will say so (examples are Interdict and Teferi’s Response).

How does double cascade work?

Essentially you will create two trees. The first thing you flip off the bloodbraid will cascade down until it hits a spell without cascade. Then those spells will start resolving until you get back up to the bloodbraid’s second trigger, then you start cascading again.

How does cascade work with adventure?

Now, with cascade, if you exile an adventurer card whose converted mana cost is less than that of the spell with cascade (e.g., exile Fae of Wishes with Bloodbraid Elf’s cascade), you can’t choose to cast it as an Adventure unless the Adventure part’s converted mana cost is likewise less than that of the spell with …
