Hello folks,
In one of my recent commander games a weird interaction came up and I cannot find a place where this has been answered. Player A cast Vanish into Memory on a stack of mutated creatures. Its obvious that they draw cards equal to the power of the stack (so letss say the stack consists of Otrimi, the Ever-Playful on top of Chittering Harvester they would draw 6 cards) and on their next upkeep Otrimi, the Ever-Playful and Chittering Harvester return to the battlefield as seperate creatures. But how many do they have to discard now? My best guess is 12 because looking at rule 723.3c: "If an effect can find the new object that a merged permanent becomes as it leaves the battlefield, it finds all of those objects. (See rule 400.7.) If that effect causes actions to be taken upon those objects, the same actions are taken upon each of them." Vanish into Memories delayed trigger now sees all the seperate creatures and you discard cards equal to the toughness for each seperate creature. Can someone confirm this hunch?
Thank you in advance
