If Fading Memories is played on my unit by my opponent, and I control Mushroom Pouch, can I still use Mushroom Pouch's effect to draw a card at the beginning of my turn before my unit dies from Temporary?

Ruling: Yes, you can use Mushroom Pouch's effect to draw a card. Both Temporary (from Fading Memories) and Mushroom Pouch trigger at the start of your beginning phase simultaneously, and since you control both triggers, you choose the order in which they resolve.

Sequence:

  • Both triggers (Temporary and Mushroom Pouch) occur at the start of your beginning phase
  • You choose the order of resolution
  • If you resolve Mushroom Pouch first, you draw a card, then Temporary resolves and the unit dies
  • If you resolve Temporary first, the unit dies and the hidden card goes away, making Pouch invalid

Nuances:

  • The key is that both triggers happen simultaneously at the same timing, giving the controlling player choice of ordering
  • If you want to draw the card, you must choose to resolve Mushroom Pouch before Temporary
