I was piloting Ichorid online and I came across a rules problem regarding Therapy+Bridge+Curscatcher.

He has a Cursecatcher in play, I have a Narcomeoba, a Bridge in the yard, and a Therapy in the yard. I sac the Narco to activate Therapy's flashback cost, he sacrifices Catcher to counter Therapy, removing Bridge. Do I get a token? Or is the Bridge RFG'd before its trigger resolves and I get no Zombie?

Thanks

I dont see how cursecatcher is different from say a Mogg Fanatic. Bridge triger on stack, he sacs cursecatcher, which removes bridge. Bridge triger gives no tokens.

Edit: After i posted, reread the post and realized it can seem that i'm unsure of my answer. I am sure of it. No zombies.

Your opponent can choose if you get the zombie or not, it would be implied that you do not get the zombie unless your opponent says otherwise.

If you flashback the therapy the therapy goes on the stack. Then the bridge trigger goes on the stack. With both on the stack your opponent can sacrifice the curse catcher which will remove the bridges. Due to the bridges clause of still needed to be in the graveyard upon resolution, you do not get the token.

Your opponent could wait until your bridge trigger resolves (but not the therapy) to activate the curse catcher if he wanted to and allow you to get the token. But it would normally be implied that he is doing it in response to the bridge trigger unless he specifically said so.

Right. If your opponent doesn't say anything, it's assumed he's doing it at the first possible time, which is after the Bridge trigger goes on the stack.



Bridge from Below BBB
Enchantment
Whenever a nontoken creature is put into your graveyard from play, if Bridge from Below is in your graveyard, put a 2/2 black Zombie creature token into play.
When a creature is put into an opponent's graveyard from play, if Bridge from Below is in your graveyard, remove Bridge from Below from the game.


The ", if Bridge from Below is in your graveyard," will cause the ability to do nothing when the ability resolves if the condition is not met.
