If you have Cithria (with a buff) on board and play Wildclaw Shaman, spending Cithria's buff to ready him and give him a buff, does Cithria get a buff from the Shaman being played?

Ruling: Yes, Cithria gets a buff from Wildclaw Shaman being played. You can choose the order in which "when you play" effects are added and resolved.

Sequence:

  • Both "when you play" effects trigger in the same timing window
  • You can choose to resolve them in either order
  • You can resolve Wildclaw Shaman's effect first (giving Cithria a buff), then spend that buff to ready and buff the Shaman
  • Or you can resolve Cithria's effect first to give the Shaman a buff, then trigger the Shaman's effect to spend it

Nuances:

  • The buff does not need to be present when you play Wildclaw Shaman; both effects are in the same timing window so you can order them as needed
