What happens when I have 4 signal pests and a raid bombardment on the field?

Asked by muffludwig 13 years ago

If I have 4 Signal Pest s and a Raid Bombardment and the pests attack, does Raid Bombardment go off first or does battle cry?

Ok so this is a really good question and this is just my interpretation of the answer.

I think that sine you can stack your triggers, you can allow the Raid Bombardment to check first then the Signal Pest afterwards. Since you control bot effects, (battlecry and the bombardment). If this is not the answer then sorry but oh wow I hope it works like this!

JaceFace is right. Since both events trigger at the same time ("whenever (creature) attacks") You have the choice of which triggers first on the stack. Since Signal Pest has 0 power as a base he qualifies for Raid Bombardment s condition. So, if all 4 Signal Pest s are out, each would deal one damage to the defending player, then the Signal Pest s ability gives each one +3/+0 until the end of turn for a total of 16 damage if unblocked or interrupted. Pretty nasty stuff. Warcry = Exalted on crack... just without defense...

Same as having an Awakening Zone and an Eldrazi Monument on the field. That's what I thought. You can just sac the token with summoning sickness

Just for clarification, you cannot sacrifice the Awakening Zone token for its mana ability and still fulfill the requirement from Eldrazi Monument . You have to choose one or the other. If you sac the spawn for mana you must sac another creature you own. I'm sure that is what you were eluding to but I just wanted to make sure.
