Sundial of the Infinite and Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer

Asked by FatFreddiesCat 1 year ago

There seem to be a number of answers regarding Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer, but I'm sorry to say that I can't quite be sure of my situation. I have Sundial of the Infinite in play. I tap a creature enchanted with Elemental Mastery creating X 1/1 red Elemental creatures which will be exiled at the beginning of the next step. At the beginning of combat my Commander Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer creates a blue Myr artifact creature token. I then choose another token I control, say a 9/9 blue Kraken creature token and each other token I control becomes a copy of that Kraken token. I activate Sundial of the Infinite ending the turn. Will I still need to exile the tokens created by the Elemental Mastery enchantment at the beginning of a later end step or do they no longer have any part of 1/1 red Elemental creature tokens and will no longer be subject to exile?

The "exile at them at the beginning of the next end step" is not part of the characteristics of the tokens. It is a delayed trigger ability that will track the tokens that were created by Elemental Mastery regardless of what the characteristics of those tokens changes to. If you end the turn immediately after the Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer trigger resolves you will have to sacrifice the tokens on the next turn's end step since your turn didn't have one for the delayed trigger to trigger on.

The cool thing with the mentioned Sundial of the Infinite though is that if you wait until the delayed trigger ability goes on the stack during your end step, and end the turn before the trigger resolves it will not trigger on any other end steps because it already triggered on the "next" end step.

Thanks for making this so clear. And even more so for showing me how to do what I was originally trying to do.
