Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Roaming Throne
There was some chatter about Sidisi, Undead Vizier and Roaming Throne on social media. But is Exploit a triggered ability or an activated ability. Does Sidisi exploit twice, and does each exploit cause two searches?
Accepted Answer
Exploit is a triggered ability (it uses "When" in the Rules Text and Reminder Text). Thus, Throne will cause the Exploit trigger to trigger twice. Assuming that you do not Sacrifice Sidisi to the first trigger to resolve, each trigger you sacrifice a creature to will also cause her "When you exploit...." trigger to trigger twice. You could potentially get 4 total searches by sacrificing 2 total creatures.
If you do sac her to the first trigger to resolve, you get 2 search triggers but she won't be around to see the second trigger to resolve so you won't search at all for that one.

It just seemed to good to be true so I talked myself out of it. ")
