Hi, if I cascade into living end.. then bring into the battlefield a Purphoros, God of the Forge plus 3 other creatures. Would purphoros deal 6 damage to the opponent?
Accepted Answer
Yes, Purphoros will deal 6 damage.
In general when a creature enters the battlefield simultaneously with other creatures, it sees those creatures entering. Rule 603.6a helps clarify that for us:
Basically we go through the following procedure:
1. We resolve the effect that puts them all on the battlefield.
2. After state-based actions, we check to see what abilities have triggered.
3. We have a triggered ability (Purphoros's) that cares about creatures entering the battlefield, and three other creatures that have just entered. The ability is triggered three times.

(Emphasis added.)603.6a Enters-the-battlefield abilities trigger when a permanent enters the battlefield. These are written, "When [this object] enters the battlefield, . . . " or "Whenever a [type] enters the battlefield, . . ." Each time an event puts one or more permanents onto the battlefield, all permanents on the battlefield (including the newcomers) are checked for any enters-the-battlefield triggers that match the event.
