When conquering with Qiyana in Candlelit Sanctum and wanting to start a chain, how do you order the triggers so Sanctum resolves first, and when do you decide whether Qiyana draws or channels?
Ruling: You declare Qiyana as Chain 1 and Sanctum as Chain 2, so Sanctum resolves first (last in, first out). You decide whether Qiyana draws or channels when her trigger resolves, not when it triggers, so you can see the Sanctum result before deciding.
Sequence:
- Declare Qiyana's trigger as Chain 1
- Declare Sanctum's trigger as Chain 2
- Resolve Sanctum first (Chain 2)
- Resolve Qiyana's trigger (Chain 1), deciding at this point whether to draw or channel
Nuances:
- At tournaments, saying "C1 Qiyana, C2 Sanctum" is sufficient shorthand
- If conquering for the final point of the game, the final point draw happens before any Qiyana/Sanctum triggers
- If Qiyana dies during the battle, you do not draw even if you still conquer
