Hi MTG community.
I have a question about Elven Warhounds and its triggered ability.
My friend (who runs Lure on it) and I were wondering whether it's the owner of the Elven Warhounds or the defending player that chooses the order in which the blocking creatures get put on top of their owner's library.
Thanks for everything you do guys.
Each blocking creature causes a separate instance of Warhounds' triggered ability. Since those triggers get put on the stack simultaneously, the Warhounds' controller chooses in which order they place those multiple triggers. The triggers then resolve in reverse order, so the creaure that ends up deepest in the library is the one for which the trigger was put top of the stack, it goes to the library first and then the other creatures are put on top of it with each other trigger.
