Unsure of Nadu, Winged Wisdom's power

Asked by FatFreddiesCat 4 months ago

I'm building a Nadu, Winged Wisdom deck. I can't quite figure out the last sentence. I get the easy part that if I target two creatures, say by casting a couple auras, I get two triggers and reveal two cards. But what happens in the case of Jugan, the Rising Star dying, giving me 5 targets (assuming I have 5 creatures). Is that one trigger or 5? If it's only one trigger do I reveal five cards? If's it's 5, do I get two triggers (maximum) and reveal two cards? And if's 5, do I get another chance to target another creature, setting off another look at the library? In other words, what happens "twice"? Is it the actual trigger (like Jugan, the Rising Star) or is the number of targets, limited to two? The rulings from Oracle doesn't really clarify it for me.

Based off Nadu's wording, the "reveal the top whenever it's the target of a spell or ability... etc" is what only triggers twice each turn (which is still a lot). So each of your creatures can only have that particular "reveal the top, etc" trigger happen twice per turn.

There's also this Youtube short which shows some Nadu triggers happening and might be a better quick visualization. I did a quick edit since I was trying to find a Nadu gameplay video that wasn't cEDH.

I believe that in the case of your Jugan, the Rising Star, it would only be 1 trigger, since it is only 1 spell that is distributing the 5 counters (?)

Following on from what’s already been said, assuming Jugan targets 5 different creatures (and each of those creatures haven’t already been individually triggered twice this turn), then you get 5 triggers.

As a third opinion, Crow_Umbra seems to be correct. Also wallisface is more than likely correct about Jugan, the Rising Star.

Thanks all. Not sure how to mark all three answers as "The Answer".

FatFreddiesCat you can always mark the first one as the answer so this thread leaves the "unanswered" section.
