brenard needs so many moving pieces to work at all and that's why I like it. gives so many options to build towards and is not just a do thing draw card snooze fest

with more fun you mean more broken, right?

It could have been two if he had attacked Mat and John since they both had more life than Muddstah but he attacked Muddstah who had the least life among his opponents so Breena shouldn't have triggered from the Sentinel's attack.

Netherese puzzle-Ward is good especially since you can stack the triggers

Don't wanna spoil so thoughts in here: On Johsn turn 6 I would've slammed kozilek. It would've given more cards than Minds eye and sure, you'd be a bit of a threat but I think it would've positioned him well. Mox was going off the next turn which would've helped him recast kozilek if need be. It could help more against a wrath as well, possibly netting you more cards. A swing against Arca wouldn't be too bad there plus he has a necro he can dig with (and sacc to annihilator if no answer was found) for an answer to kozilek.

Breena's controller can get two triggers per combat by attacking the two opponents with the highest and second highest life totals. Each trigger nets them a card and two +1/+1 counters.

Breena's effect is eldrich knowledge. Always assume you misread or misunderstood it.

@@DarkEinherjar But didn't Andrew had the third most life at 3:37?

Yeah, why did it trigger twice the first time? The lowest opponent was one of the two attacked.

@@Nightkeeper91 It might've made an editing and/or narration error.

Annihilator is an on attack trigger, it goes on the stack as soon as ulamog is turned sideways, this way before damage happens, it’s before blockers are even declared. Inkshield resolves during damage calculation

@@theaamanable ink shield could resolve with the annihilator trigger on the stack. But the tokens aren’t created until damage? I’m familiar with the ordering, i was just curious as to when the tokens show up. Do you have to cast inkshield during the damage step? *edit* I see that it prevents it for the turn so you can cast it with the annihilator trigger on the stack, but I’m guessing the tokens don’t resolve until damage happens. Not sure if that is called a delayed trigger or something else.

@@danriemer9724 then it would go Inkshield, sees no damage because blockers haven’t been declared so we can’t go to damage step Annihilator sac 4 So no, there’s no conceivable world where you can pop out the tokens before the annihilator trigger finishing doing what it’s doing

@@theaamanable That’s what I thought. So are the tokens created off a delayed trigger? Now I’m wondering if there are things you can do between inkshield resolving and the tokens showing up. Stifle for example, or killing a sacrifice outlet. It’s pretty corner case, but I like to fully understand the rules.

@@danriemer9724 so Inkshield has 2 sentences on it, so it has two abilities on resolution effectively. During combat it would go Go to combat (any responses) In combat, declare attackers (any responses, annihilator now goes on the stack) Annihilator must resolve before blockers are declared. So if you play Inkshield, the first part of Inkshield will resolve and yes, the token generation is now a “delayed” trigger that will happen in a second So now you sac 4 permanents, and all damage is nullified from combat Now we go to declare blockers (any responses) Now we go to damage, this is where the second half of Inkshield now sees how much damage was prevented by the attackers, you can also respond to things here. Then end of combat, which again has a response trigger.

She does if you attack the two opponents with the highest life total.

The play was correct. "Clones" still die as the copied cards and their effects still trigger as normal.
