Alex controls a
Satyr Firedancer. Alex casts
Searing Blood on Noddy's
Runeclaw Bear. When Runeclaw Bear dies, the delayed triggered ability of Searing Blood steps in, and deals 3 damage to Noddy. Question is: will Satyr's ability trigger?
My guts says no, since Searing Blood is no longer an instant or sorcery spell, and the delayed triggered ability is not an instant or sorcery spell as well.
Then I saw
Acolyte's Reward's FAQ:
* The damage will be dealt by Acolyte's Reward as it existed on the stack, not as it exists when the damage is dealt. That is, it's an instant spell that's dealing the damage, in case an ability cares about that (such as Satyr Firedancer's, which includes the phrase “Whenever an instant or sorcery spell you control deals damage to an opponent”).
When Acolyte's Reward resolves, it creates a prevention effect, and goes to graveyard and ceases to be a spell. I thought that it should not trigger the Satyr since it's not a spell by the time the prevention effect steps in, but the FAQ says otherwise. I searched CR and can't find a corresponding rule for this FAQ.
So, the question:
1. Will Searing Blood('s delayed triggered ability) trigger Satyr Firedancer's ability?
2. What is the rule in CR behind Acolyte's Reward's FAQ?
Thanks.
