Answer

Ruling: Cards with delayed triggers do not enter the chain twice. The card itself goes on the chain once when played, and when it resolves it creates a delayed trigger that separately goes on the chain later.

Sequence:

  • The card (e.g., Imperial Decree or Targon's Peak) is played to the chain
  • When it resolves, it goes to the trash
  • The delayed trigger it creates goes on the chain separately (e.g., at end of turn)

Nuances:

  • Triggered ability phrases like "when" and "at the end of turn" don't always appear at the beginning of card text, but they still indicate triggered abilities that will create chain links
