I'm in the middle of brewing a card draw matters deck and I came across a possible combination that I'm not certain will work. The scenario is something like this: I have Thassa, Deep Dwelling and Toothy, Imaginary Friend with 3 +1/+1 counters on it. At my end step, I choose to bounce the Toothy.
My question is this: Does the ability of Toothy remain on the stack unresolved until Thassa has brought the Toothy back or does the Toothy ability resolve first? I'd like to know, as its quite beneficial for Toothy to return first as he would see his own trigger resolve, getting the +1/+1 counters back for drawing those cards.
Because Thassa exiles and returns the card as part of the same ability, Toothy will return before its LTB the trigger even has a chance to go onto the stack. So, when it does go on the stack, he is already on the field which means he will have been on the field for a long time by the time the trigger resolves. You will end up just putting the same number of counters back onto him that he had when he left.

I appreciate the help
