Multiple Card Interactions
Asked by unbendingsea 2 years ago
So i have multiple questions in this post. I guess for starts i built an Izzet deck for commander, with my commander as Veyran, Voice of Duality
So i have some interactions with veyran on cards like Opt Preordain where it allows me to draw a card as the secondary prompt to the card. Does veyran copy the trigger from the draw a card effect?
Between Thousand-Year Storm and Aetherflux Reservoir How do those cards interact when already on the field when you are starting a storm count for each. The next question is I already have a storm count going. I play Thousand-Year Storm and Aetherflux Reservoir and start to continue the storm count. Do each of those cards see the storm count as they resolve from then on or do the already see the previous storm count as well?
Correct me if i'm wrong, but I would assume with Aetherflux Reservoir it would work in a way in which if you play an instant or sorcery spell as your first spell for the turn your storm count would be at one, but you would gain two life as the trigger is doubled and if it was your second spell played you would gain 4 life.

You'd gain 1 life for the trigger, so yes, if you have Veyran, Voice of Duality out, you'd gain 2 life. However, if you responded to the trigger(s) by casting another instant, all 4 triggers would gain you 2 life each, for a total of 8. If you then cast an artifact, it'll only trigger once, giving you 3 life.

Veyran, Voice of Duality doubles triggers of permanents you control. This means it cannot double spell effects (like those Opt ) or even triggered abilities of spells (like Flamethrower Sonata ). As such, it does not double the Storm triggers of spells you cast with Storm .
Storm count, Thousand-Year Storm , and Aetherflux Reservoir each work a bit differently. For the two permanents, they will count spells that were cast before they entered the battlefield. Aetherflux Reservoir will even count itself (assuming it was cast), and for it's storm count you only look at the number of spells cast before the trigger resolves, even if the spells were cast after it triggered. Aetherflux Reservoir also only counts your own spells, unlike Storm . Thousand-Year Storm only counts spells cast before the triggering spell, just like Storm , but also only counts instants and sorceries, so it won't count itself like Aetherflux Reservoir would. Much like Aetherflux Reservoir , it only counts your own spells, not your opponents'.
