A chain in a chain - Breaker, Stumbling CotH

Post #1 by Zguigoui » Sat Mar 30, 2024 10:15 pm

Hello everyone,

Does anyone can help me with the following :

Player A has Stumbling active on the field, and Dream Clown in GY.
It's player B's Turn. He summons Breaker, target Call of the Haunted (CotH) face down.
Player A responds, active CotH and target Clown.

Resolution, which one of the following is right and why :


  • Call resolves, summoning Clown
    Stumbling Trigered , start a new chain, put clown in def, trigered Clown Eff and destroy Breaker's player B
    Breaker resolves and destroy CotH, destroying Clown
  • Call resolves, summoning Clown
    Breaker resolves and destroy CotH, destroying Clown
    Stumbling Trigered, but there is no Clown on field so no Clown's effect

Thank you all,
Zguigoui

This isn't MtG, Stumbling will only activate after the current chain resolves, which is after Breaker destroys CotH and with it the Dream Clown it summoned.
