Cultivator Colossus puts in Gond Gate

Asked by Delphen7 1 year ago

Say I have a resolving Cultivator Colossus ability, and the first land I put in is Gond Gate. Say I then put in a Rakdos Guildgate.

Now for the most part, effects that put multiple gates on the field will have them all enter tapped, even if Gond Gate is one of them.

But Colossus is sequentially based (if...then repeat), so assuming I applied replacement effects in the correct order, would Rakdos Guildgate enter untapped?

If it does, what order do I have to apply the replacement effects (first in, first out or first in, last out)?

Yes, the fact that Cultivator Colossus's effect has you take sequential actions matters. It means Gond Gate's ability will affect the Gates that enter the battlefield after it, namely because they actually are entering after it instead of simultaneously with it.

You can choose the order to apply the replacement effects. If you really want the other Gates to enter tapped (maybe for some Amulet of Vigor shenanigans) then you're allowed to do that.
