Hissing Iguanar double death

Hissing Iguanar

if i have two of them out... and both are killed simultaneously in battle due to combat damage... will both of their abilities trigger, meaning i get to shoot my opponent for 2 dmg in total (1 from each)?

yep, they both see the other one leaving the battlefield and trigger, you get to ping your opponent for 2.

Actually, no. In my experience, cards are killed and put into a graveyard in a "stack" type of manor. So if you had two of those and another random creature and all of them died, you could choose to put the random creature into the graveyard first, getting a trigger from both, then one iguanar, getting one more ping, then the last one for nothing.

My experience was with Pawn of Ulamog and getting Day of Judgmented. I was able to put all of the creatures besides the pawn into my graveyard before pawn, getting a bunch of spawn tokens. Hope that helps.

I was suprised to find out the rules (410.10d specifically) actually agree with this one, you'd think it wouldn't work but it seems that it does. Apparently this guy was made specifically as anti-sweeper insurance, someone wraths the field or something and it's going to hurt.

It's all simultaneous, since it happens at the same time you get the tokens from all those triggers from pawn. Then once the DoJ is done resolving, the triggers go on the stack, resolve, and you get tokens.

Yup, that's why it's pretty good in limited.

Really now? Well, that makes more sense I suppose. Good to have it cleared up.
