Hi, just a minor question on Horror of the Broken Lands. Would it's ability trigger twice if I discarded two cards to Collective Brutality, horror get a total of +4/+2 because two cards were discarded?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. For a triggered ability, each matching trigger event is considered individually, no matter if it happens simultaneously with another instance of the same event, even as part of applying a single effect or paying a single cost (like in Collective Brutality's case). The Horror sees two events of you discarding a card, so it triggers twice.

I'm a former judge (lapsed), who keeps up to date on rules and policy. Keep in mind that judges' answers aren't necessarily more valid than those of people who aren't judges; what matters is we can quote the rules to back up our answers. When in doubt, ask for such quotes.

Each of the discards happen simultaneously but are their own specific entity, so Horror of the Broken Lands would get two buffs of +2/+1.

Also thank you [mention]WiseWarriorQc[/mention] for being slightly faster than I.

ok, thanks both for the answers. Had a minor argument with someone about this. Now it's solved. :)
