"Triggered abilities identifieras som bekant mha orden When, Whenever eller At. Arcande Denial har en så kallad delayed triggerd ability. Den skapas under resolution av Arcane Denial, men triggern läggs inte på stacken förrän trigger event sker, i det här fallet ”At the beginning of next turns upkeep”.

Vems trigger är det då? Jo, Cecilias eftersom det är hennes Arcane Denial.

603.7d If a spell creates a delayed triggered ability, the source of that delayed triggered ability is that spell. The controller of that delayed triggered ability is the player who controlled that spell as it resolved.

Men spelare som inte längre är med I spelet kan inte påverka spelet.

800.4b If an object would change to the control of a player who has left the game, it doesn’t. If a token would be created under the control of a player who has left the game, no token is created. If an object would be put onto the battlefield or onto the stack under the control of a player who has left the game, that object remains in its current zone. If a player would be controlled by a player who has left the game, they aren’t.

Men vad är ett object? Är en delayed trigger ett object? Jag skulle säga att det är det, men reglerna är tyvärr ganska bra på att använda sig av abstrakta benämningar utan att specificera vad de exakt omfattar. Regel 800.4d ger oss dock ett rakt svar på vår fråga:

800.4d If an object that would be owned by a player who has left the game would be created in any zone, it isn’t created. If a triggered ability that would be controlled by a player who has left the game would be put onto the stack, it isn’t put on the stack.

Example: Astral Slide is an enchantment that reads, “Whenever a player cycles a card, you may exile target creature. If you do, return that creature to the battlefield under its owner’s control at the beginning of the next end step.” During Alex’s turn, Bianca uses Astral Slide’s ability to exile Alex’s Hypnotic Specter. Before the end of that turn, Bianca leaves the game. At the beginning of the end step, the delayed triggered ability generated by Astral Slide that would return Hypnotic Specter to the battlefield triggers, but it isn’t put on the stack. Hypnotic Specter never returns to the battlefield.

Tydligare än så blir det inte. Cecilias delayed trigger kommer inte läggas på stacken eftersom hon inte längre är med i spelet. Ingen drar kort pga Arcane Denial. Och givetvis triggar Sphinx enbart på kort som faktiskt blir dragna.

Rätt svar:
Ingen drar något kort."
