Comes into play triggers and responding to it.

So I have City of Traitors on the field. I played Ghost Quarter, triggering City of Traitors. While its trigger is on the stack, can I activate Ghost Quarter targeting City of Traitors before the sacrifice trigger resolves?

true


The answer is appreciated (though you can probably do better than one word), but please at least use capitalization and punctuation per the site rules. -cdr

Yes; the City isn't sacrificed until the trigger resolves and so is a legal target for other spells/effects until then.

I have another question concerning City of Traitors. If I 'cheat' a land into play (such as using Goblin Welder to cheat a Great Furnace onto the field or using Knight of the Reliquary or Show and Tell to cheat a land onto the field), would that trigger City of Traitors?

Thanks.

No, it won't trigger. City of Traitors reads: "When you play another land, sacrifice City of Traitors." The examples that you describe involve lands which enter the battlefield in ways other than being played.

Just wanted to make sure.

Cool and thank you.
