Desolation Angel

[Team-Hero]

I had an argument about this and I just want to settle and see who was correct.

When I play Desolation Angel with kicker... can my opponent use a fetchland with the destruction on the stack and get a land (and keep the land in play)?

I say no.

I'd agree. The fetched land comes into play before the geddon effect resolves.

Your opponent can fetch a land before the Angel's trigger resolves, but they will lose whatever land they fetch.


You pass priority to resolve Desolation Angel's LD trigger.
Your opponent can put instants/abilities on the stack, including the fetchland.
You have to resolve their instants first, including fetchland's activated ability.
The fetchland would grab a land and put it into play, and then you would move to resolve Angel's trigger.
When both of you pass priority to resolve Angel's ability, then all lands, including the one just fetched, would be destroyed.


peace,

In order for them to keep the land, the angel would have to come into play in response to the fetchland activation.
