Would Wilt stop a combo with Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin All Will Be One and Firebrand Archer

Asked by MartinEMcArthur 3 months ago

I cast AWBO with both Ob and Firebrand Archer on the battlefield and my buddy casts Wilt to destroy All Will Be One. Would casting Wilt stop the combo?

Yes - they can add wilt to the stack at any point, which will resolve before those triggers already on-the-stack will, and then end the combo.

To be clear about how this works: Just casting All Will Be One by itself won't start the combo. When you cast it, Firebrand Archer triggers, then when the Archer's trigger resolves, Ob Nixilis, Captive Kingpin will trigger, but when Ob Nixilis' trigger resolves AWBO is still a spell on the stack. It's not on the battlefield yet and can't trigger yet from your opponent losing life. You need to cast another noncreature spell once AWBO has actually resolved and is on the battlefield in order to get things rolling.
