    CGB, each nazgul triggers separately, meaning on their etb or any tempt they each get counters equal to the total number of nazgul in play.

    • @zmadbassist
      @zmadbassist Před rokem +9

      Also, when he said that since his first nazgul was legendary he wouldn't be able to play more isn't necessarily true, right? The ring bearer effect makes one creature legendary, not "every card with the same name is legendary". So he would just have one legendary nazgul and some not legendary nazgul

    49:15 Not a major issue, but I don't think Frodo gets the "Draw, discard" effect of the The Ring emblem until the next time he attacks as his ability triggers in response to being declared an attacker, so the emblem wouldn't see him attack just as attacking.

      You can put your commander back in to the command zone any time it would change zones, the library is considered a zone so you can still opt to put your commander back in the command zone just like if it were killed or exiled 😃

      ​@@ferdithetank7535it's not quite "instead", if the commander goes into a public zone (graveyard or exile) it reaches that zone, then goes into command zone (so the death/exile triggers still occur). If the zone is not public (hand, library) then it is instead.
