Marchesa Black Rose + Thran Vigil

Asked by Last_Laugh 1 day ago

Thran Vigil triggers when a creature leaves the grave from Marchesa, the Black Rose's delayed trigger. Is the returning creature a valid target for Thran Vigil's +1+1 counter?

Yes, you can do that. Targets for a triggered ability are chosen when it's put onto the stack, but after an ability triggers it waits to be put onto the stack until the next time a player receives priority. In your example, Vigil triggers during the resolution of Marchesa's delayed trigger but the next time a player gets priority is after Marchesa's trigger is completely finished resolving, so the returned creature is on the battlefield when it's time to choose a target for the Vigil trigger.
