Hi,
some players have asked me the following question and I just want to be sure what is the correct answer.
1. AP controls
Firesong and Sunspeaker.
2. AP casts and resolves
Spiritualize targeting F&S.
3. F&S somehow deals damage.
Will this result in a loop?
Players tried to apply CR 603.7d.
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.
I tried to explain that it does not work as intended, because F&S triggers for "white instant or sorcery
spell" only, not an ability. I presented also one of rulings for F&S:
Firesong and Sunspeaker’s last ability doesn’t trigger if a triggered ability of a white instant or sorcery spell or card causes you to gain life, such as the triggered ability of Renewed Faith when it’s cycled.
Would you be so kind and confirm this?
By the way, what is the CR definition of the verb “to cause”? Because, the life gain would be caused by Spiritualize, albeit indirectly.
