Interaction between Araumi of the Dead Tide and Vodalian Illusionist

Asked by CamraMaan 8 months ago

Say I use Araumi of the Dead Tide to encore Vodalian Illusionist and come to the end of the turn triggers going onto the stack, I use each Vodalian Illusionist to target another one, in response to each other, to phase each other out and avoid being sacrificed. Will they all successfully phase out, or will one be left behind from targeting issues...?

Thanks in advance! (And sorry for all the questions! Araumi creates some interesting interactions)

Sorry, to clarify, I'm using the Vodalian Illusionists as a response to the sacrifice triggers going onto the stack from encore.

There won't be any "targeting issues". If the source of an ability on the stack goes away, it won't interfere with that ability resolving as normal unless it specifically depends on the source remaining on the battlefield, e.g. a "fight", a Banishing Light-like effect, or a specific restriction in the Oracle text like on Parallax Wave (for that last one, the printed text doesn't have it, you will need to look it up in Gatherer or some other similar reference to see the current errata).
