Copying Omnath, Locus of Creation triggers
Asked by builderboy7 1 month ago
If player A controls an Omnath, Locus of Creation and plays their second land for turn, holds priority, and copies Omnath's triggered ability to add 4 mana to their mana pool with a Strionic Resonator. If then player B elects to cast Stifle
on the Omnath ability, what happens to the copy of the ability on the stack?
Neotrup says... Accepted answer #1
If a player casts Stifle
in response to Strionic Resonator's activation targeting the same ability as the Resonator it will counter that ability removing it from the stack. That will cause the activation to no longer have a legal target when it tries to resolve, effectively countering both the original trigger and the activation.
As a note, Strionic Resonator would copy the landfall ability as a whole. When Omnath, Locus of Creation's ability resolves, it checks how many times the ability has resolved, not how many times it triggered, or which trigger it was. Copying the second trigger will make the copy add and make the actual trigger deal 4 damage to each opponent and each planeswalker you don't control, even though it was the second trigger, as it is now the third time the ability is resolving.
