When playing Teemo (Scout) from Hidden with Ember Monk on the battlefield, can you order the triggers so that Convergent Mutation copies Ember Monk's +2 Might before Teemo gets his own +3 Might, resulting in a 9 Might Teemo?

Ruling: Yes, you can achieve a 9 Might Teemo by choosing the order of simultaneous triggers and using Convergent Mutation between their resolutions.

Sequence:

  • Play Teemo from the facedown (Hidden) zone - this resolves immediately
  • Ember Monk's trigger and Teemo's "When you play me" trigger happen at the same time, so you choose the order
  • Put Teemo's trigger on the chain first, then Ember Monk's trigger on top
  • Monk's trigger resolves, giving Ember Monk +2 Might (now 6 Might)
  • You get priority back before Teemo's trigger resolves
  • Play Convergent Mutation targeting Teemo and Ember Monk
  • Convergent Mutation resolves, increasing Teemo's Might to 6 (matching Ember Monk)
  • Teemo's "When you play me" trigger resolves, giving Teemo +3 Might (now 9 Might total)

Nuances:

  • When triggers happen at the same time, you can select the order they go on the chain
  • Playing a card from Hidden resolves immediately as a permanent before triggers go on the chain
  • You receive priority back as the owner of the next effect on the chain, allowing you to play Convergent Mutation between trigger resolutions
