So I built an EDH Yarok, the Desecrated deck with Horn of Greed in it. I know horn only triggers when you actively play a land, not when a land enters the battlefield (ETBs).
My question is, does Yarok cause a second trigger for horn of greed? Since it’s the act of playing a land not specifically the land entering the battlefield that causes the trigger I’m not sure.
I have the same question for Teysa Karlov (taking the place of Yarok) and Mayhem Devil (taking the place of Horn). Since mayhem triggers when a player sacrifices a permanent not when a creature dies specifically does the mayhem devil trigger get doubled by teysa?

I mostly play EDH but also like to draft and wish more people in my area/friend group played Canadian Highlander.
There is a ruling for Teysa that covers this situation: "An ability that triggers on an event that causes a creature to die doesn’t trigger twice. For example, an ability that triggers 'whenever you sacrifice a creature' triggers only once." Indeed, sacrificing is a keyword action (C.R. 701.17a); it could have had a different meaning and Mayhem Devil's ability would have worked the same way (see also C.R. 701.1).
Likewise, "playing" a land is a keyword action that "means to put it onto the battlefield from the zone it’s in" (C.R. 701.14a); it could have meant something different and Horn of Greed's ability would have worked the same way.
See also C.R. 700.1, which says that "[t]he text of triggered abilities ... defines the event they're looking for", and C.R. 118.11, which says a cost can be paid even if "the actions that are performed [when paying that cost] don't match the actions that are called for".
Thus, for purposes of Yarok, Horn of Greed's ability doesn't trigger on the event of a "permanent entering the battlefield".
We were already at the point where it is Necessary For Survival to have a computer and internet connection in order to acquire Shelter and Employment . One year after Strixhaven and we are at the point where you need a smartphone to play a card game .
Something is wrong .
