Tom Bombadil's ability doesn't trigger when Saga's lore counter is proliferated
Tom Bombadil's ability doesn't trigger when Saga's lore counter is proliferated with Metastatic Evangel on a Saga.
Step 1 : Have Metastatic Evangel and Elspeth Conquers Death on the battlefield.
Step 2 : Play Tom Bombadil from the Commander Zone.
Step 3 : Metastatic Evangel's ability triggers, proliferate Elspeth conquers death's (or ANY SAGA) lore counter.
Step 4 : The saga is sacrificed; its ability doesn't trigger and Tom bombadil's ability also doesn't trigger.
Step 5 : Fall behind, your deck's mechanic doesn't work
Step 6 : Lose the game.
Step 7 : Write this ticket.

The trigger of the third chapter of ECD requires a target in your graveyard. If there is no legal target, the trigger is removed from the stack immediately and doesn't get resolve. And because it doesn't resolve, Tom Bombadil doesn't trigger.
