Greetings! If I've got a Reckless Fireweaver on the board and I copy him with Saheeli Rai's -2 ability, does the copy see itself entering the battlefield and ping my opponent for one (since the copy is also an artifact)?
Either only the first Fireweaver sees it and my opponent takes 1 ping, or they both see him entering and they take 2 pings.
While I'm on the topic, can I redirect Fireweaver's damage to "each opponent" to a planeswalker? Thanks!
Yes, the token will trigger its own ability, since it is an artifact and it entered the battlefield. ETB trigger conditions are checked after the event of a permanent entering the battlefield, and that check includes all newcomers. So your opponent is pinged for two damage total.
Also, yes, the damage can be redirected to the opponent's planeswalkers. It is noncombat damage dealt by a source you control to an opponent, so the planeswalker damage redirection rule can be applied.
