If Baited Hook kills Machine Evangel and plays Karthus as part of its resolution, does Karthus's ability cause Machine Evangel's Deathknell to trigger twice?
verified
Answer
Ruling: No, Karthus does not cause Machine Evangel's Deathknell to trigger twice.
Sequence:
- Baited Hook's activated ability goes on the chain
- During Baited Hook's resolution, Machine Evangel is killed
- Both the Deathknell trigger and Karthus being played wait until after Baited Hook finishes resolving to enter the chain
- Since they enter the chain at the same time (or Deathknell enters before Karthus), Karthus is not on board when the Deathknell triggers
- Karthus doubles triggers, not resolutions, so the Deathknell only triggers once
Nuances:
- Things cannot enter the chain during the resolution of another effect; they wait until after resolution completes
- The exact ordering of simultaneous chain entries (Karthus and Deathknell) is still unclear and awaiting official clarification
- This ruling may change in future Comprehensive Rules updates, as the interaction of "play" effects with the chain is still being finalized by Riot
