Soul Ransom has an fascinating skill:
Discard two playing cards: Soul Ransom’s controller sacrifices it, then attracts two playing cards. Solely any opponent might activate this skill.
I am conscious that the traditional process for resolving skills is “do as a lot as you’ll be able to.” Using “then” within the card textual content is complicated me a bit, although.
If Soul Ransom is already within the graveyard when its skill resolves, as a result of the affected creature has been killed by another means, do I nonetheless get to attract two playing cards?
Situations the place this issues:
-
I Soul Ransom a Thragtusk. On the finish of my flip, my opponent discards two playing cards to activate Soul Ransom’s skill. I’ve a Devour Flesh in hand, so it might be actual good to offer myself some life and a Beast token as a substitute of simply returning the Thragtusk. If I Devour-Flesh the Thragtusk in response, Soul Ransom will find yourself in my graveyard by the point its skill resolves. Will I nonetheless get to attract playing cards?
-
I am enjoying a management mirror and my opponent Soul-Ransoms my Angel of Serenity. He solely has 10 playing cards left in his library. Can I Sphinx’s Revelation for 12, then put Soul Ransom’s skill onto the stack a number of occasions to drive him to attract himself to dying? (Despite the fact that solely the top-most occasion will trigger Soul Ransom to be sacrificed.)
