How it works : Arena Trickster
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
An ability that triggers when you cast a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
This ability triggers only on your very first spell during an opponent’s turn, not the first spell after the card is on the battlefield. If you cast a spell before it’s on the battlefield (including if you cast this card somehow during an opponent’s turn), the ability won’t trigger.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If you have more than one opponent, this ability can trigger once during each of those opponents’ turns.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
