Parnesse, the Subtle Brush & Cowardice triggers stack
Asked by Swebb87 2 days ago
If I control both cards and someone casts a Path to Exile targeting one of my creatures, can I stack the triggers with cowardice first then parnesse? Parnesse resolves first and if they do pay the 4 life, then cowardice resolves and bounces it back to my hand?
What I think you're getting at here is "Can I use Parnesse, the Subtle Brush and Cowardice to get my creature back to hand and force my opponent to pay 4 life to not give me a land from Path to Exile?"
The answer to that is no. Once Cowardice resolves, your creature will be bounced back to hand. Regardless of whether they pay for the Parnesse trigger, Path to Exile will have no valid targets left and be countered by game rules. You will not get to search for a land.

You can stack the triggers whichever way you want. BUT, Cowardice is not a may ability, and will always return the creature back to your hand, whether the opponent pays 4 life or not.
Parnesse, the Subtle Brush is effectively doing nothing in this interaction, as whatever option the opponent chooses there, Cowardice is still going to trigger. As Cowardice is not a may ability, your opponent also has no reason to ever pay the 4 life, as it achieves nothing.
