  • posted a message on Can Dross Scorpion trigger on itself with Goblin Welder?
    Hello all. I just finished putting together an artifact deck that uses Goblin Welder, Dross Scorpion, and Liquimetal Coating to create endless cycling combos, But have come across a unique scenario. I will try to make the situation as clear as possible below...

    My question is regarding how "simultaneous" abilities trigger and resolve.

    For example. If I had the dross scorpion in the graveyard and some other artifact creature in play (doesnt matter which), then use the welder to switch those, would the dross scorpion's untap ability trigger?

    The wording of the goblin welder specifically states to simultaneously sacrifice one and return the other to play, so the question is, does that mean that the Dross Scorpion is technically in play when the other creature is sacrificed?

    I am on the fence because I can see valid support for both sides, but I am admittedly not an expert on the comprehensive rules.

    Thank you to anyone that can provide some insight here.
