Valakut and Vesuva

[spirit of the wretch]

If I play Scapeshift for Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle, Vesuva (copying the Valakut) and 5 mountains, will the Vesuva be triggered by them? In other words: Will my opponent receive 15 or 30 damage?

You can't copy Valakut, since Valakut is not in play when Vesuva is coming into play.

If you were to copy a Valakut that was already in play, then the Vesuva would trigger like normal.

Valakut is not a mountain, so you need at least six mountains for it to trigger.
