    How exactly does the timing of "Saga Enchantment" spells work?


    Two rounds ago, I cast the saga The First Eruption.

    Before I draw a new card, there are two lore counters on it.
    I draw the card, and a new lore token is added, causing the third ability of the saga to trigger.
    This third triggered ability goes on the stack.
    Before the ability resolves, I cast Clockspinning, indicating that I intend to use it by removing a lore counter (the third one, obviously) from the Saga.

    The stack should therefore be formed as follows:

    • On top, Clockspinning, causing the removal of a lore counter, which resolves first;
    • Below that, the trigger of the third ability of the Saga.

    When all of this will be resolved, finally there is the check of the exact number of lore counters on The Saga.

    The Saga will not be sacrificed, because after the check the number of the lore counters is not three yet.

    This way I think I will be able to use the third ability of the Saga a second time.

    Is this a correct analysis?

    magic the gathering – Does Maddening Imp affect creatures cast after combat?


    Maddening Imp does destroy creatures that enter after its ability has resolved.

    The main relevant rule is rule 611.2c:

    If a continuous effect generated by the resolution of a spell or ability modifies the characteristics or changes the controller of any objects, the set of objects it affects is determined when that continuous effect begins. After that point, the set won’t change. (Note that this works differently than a continuous effect from a static ability.) A continuous effect generated by the resolution of a spell or ability that doesn’t modify the characteristics or change the controller of any objects modifies the rules of the game, so it can affect objects that weren’t affected when that continuous effect began. If a single continuous effect has parts that modify the characteristics or changes the controller of any objects and other parts that don’t, the set of objects each part applies to is determined independently.

    The first part of Maddening Imp’s ability is a continuous effect that does not change any objects’ characteristics or controller, so it can affect objects that weren’t affected when the ability resolved. The delayed triggered ability is then not associated with any particular set of creatures when it is created, so it determines the set of creatures to destroy as it resolves in the end step.

    This is confirmed by the rulings in this Reddit thread.
