If Soulgorger's on-play effect brings out a Magma Wurm, does Soulgorger enter the battlefield ready or exhausted?

Answer

Ruling: Soulgorger enters exhausted. The "when I'm played" effect triggers after Soulgorger is already on the battlefield exhausted, so Magma Wurm enters after Soulgorger is already in play.

Sequence:

  • Soulgorger is played and enters the battlefield exhausted
  • Soulgorger's "when I'm played" effect triggers
  • Magma Wurm enters the battlefield from the effect

Nuances:

  • "When I'm played" effects trigger when a unit touches the table anywhere, not just when played to the battlefield

Does this answer look correct?
