Intuitive Trigger Ordering
Targets of a trigger should be assigned before ordering triggers for a more intuitive process.
CURRENT METHOD WHEN CUSTOM TRIGGER ORDERING IS ON:
1) attack with Esika’s Chariot and Goldspan Dragon
2) order the following triggers:
- Esika makes copy “of a token you choose”
- Goldspan makes treasure
3) choose target for esika’s trigger
This makes it seem as if you could order goldspan to make a treasure first and then esika to copy that treasure, because the target is not written into the trigger that you are arranging.
SUGGESTION:
1) Attack with Esika & Goldspan
2) assign target for Esika trigger
3) order the following triggers:
- Esika makes copy “OF 2/2 TOKEN”
- Goldspan makes treasure
Notice in the second example the Esika’s target is written in to the text of the trigger that you are ordering for more clarity. It makes it clear that trigger targets are assigned when the trigger goes off instead of after ordering the triggers.

The Chariot and Goldspan both have attack triggers. They go on the stack at the same time, so you need to select targets for Chariot as they go on the stack, but you also need to order them. Chariot could not copy the treasure the Dragon makes as its ability will not have resolved before you select a target
