Scute Swarm + Scapeshift
Asked by nhhale 1 year ago
Suppose I have Scute Swarm on the battlefield and I cast Scapeshift, sacrificing 7 lands. When those lands enter, landfall triggers on Scute Swarm for each land that enters the battlefield, but which of the abilities triggers? Does each landfall trigger see that there are 6+ lands on the battlefield, do they each come in seeing 0 lands on the battlefield, or does each trigger one after the other? Or something else entirely? I’m stumped.

There is only one trigger, it just has differing effects dependant on how many lands are on the battlefield. The Scute Swarm trigger checks how many lands you have upon resolution. Assuming that no one Quickened an Armageddon or otherwise reduced the amount of lands you have on the battlefield to below 6 in response to the triggers, you will get Scute Swarm copies.
