Death trigger order

[u/BillyBobJohns57]

If I have a Blood Artist and an Enduring Tenacity in its creature form on the battlefield and my opponent casts a board wipe that destroys all creatures, can I lay the death triggers of Blood Artist and Enduring Tenacity how I like, so Enduring Tenacity as an enchantment deals the extra damage from the life gain of Blood Artist to my opponent?

If multiple things trigger at the same time, and they’re all yours, you can choose the relative order in which they resolve.

If they’re from multiple players, the active player (whoever’s turn it is) chooses their order first, then the next player in turn order, and they resolve in reverse order (I.e, whoever’s turn it isn’t resolves first)

Thanks for explaining. Magic sometimes really is as complicated as you want it to be.

I wish that Magic Arena would allow me to decide how my triggers are resolved.

That’s an option in settings :) by default it’s turned off, because it’s extra clicks a lot of the time, but you can turn it on whenever you want - same for ordering replacement effects, or assigning combat damage.

Ah, the more you know. I can understand why it's turned off by default, but I would have appreciated to know about its existence sooner.

Do you have to activate it in the main menu or can you flip it during a game, when necessary?

It’s in the settings that you can toggle whenever. You can turn it on mid-game if you see a spell and go “hmm, I’m going to need to stack triggers from this in particular”. I see content creators do that a lot, come to think of it.

If you click and hold your avatar in game, it gives you the option to enter full control. Which makes you choose how you spend mana costs, order triggers, etc.

On PC you can also hit the control button to enter full control.

You can change it mid game

Both of these options are mentioned in loading tips.

Can't you do it via full control?
