I have Lightning Rift (LR) and Crystalline Resonance (CR) in play. If I cycle a card, and have CR trigger first to become a copy of LR, can I pay 1 for each copy of LR to deal 4 damage? Or do I need a second cycle ability after CR becomes a copy of LR?
CR needs to already be a LR at the moment you cycle a card.
You don't "have something trigger first". When you cycle a card, all relevant triggered abilities that currently exist trigger simultaneously. Then, you put all abilities you control that triggered on stack, in any order you choose. So you can put LR's first, then CR's, or the other way around. But in any order, CR didn't had LR's ability when you cycled, so there's no second damage trigger.
Thank you. Ordering the triggers on the stack is what I meant by "having CR trigger first" - I was ordering it to be last on the stack. But I get it; I figured that's how it was supposed to work.
