When conquering Candlelit Sanctum for your 8th point (which draws a card instead of scoring), do the card draw and conquer effects happen simultaneously so they can be layered, or is there a specific order?

Answer

Ruling: You draw the card before resolving Candlelit Sanctum's conquer effect. The scoring (or drawing instead of scoring at 8 points) happens before conquer triggers are put on the chain.

Sequence:

  • The scoring process occurs (you draw a card instead of gaining a point since you're at 8 points)
  • Conquer/hold triggers are then put on the chain
  • Conquer effects resolve

Nuances:

  • Conquer and Hold abilities are subsets of "score abilities"
  • Drawing a card instead of scoring still counts as conquering the battlefield and triggers conquer effects
