I have out a Hurr Jackal, my opponent a Sedge Troll and an untapped Nevinyrral's Disk. Say I activate my Jackal, in response my opponent activates his Disk and throws up a regeneration shield on the Troll. In this scenario does the Troll survive?
In resolution order Shield goes up, Disk pops off killing everything, shield prevents Troll from dying, Jackal ability resolves too late to matter. Is this the outcome?
Yes, you got that correct. In order to kill the Troll, you have to wait until your opponent activates the Disk. Activate the Jackal in response to the Disk and no matter how many regeneration shields your opponent puts on the Troll, it will die. Even if he puts a shield up before activating the Disk. Cause the Jackal's ability does not prevent the activation of the regeneration ability, it prevents the effects of regeneration.
In resolution order Shield goes up, Disk pops off killing everything, shield prevents Troll from dying, Jackal ability resolves too late to matter. Is this the outcome?

I was in a discussion about Hurr Jackal and Whippoorwill’s abilities and we were theory crafting weird scenarios and their outcomes.
