So the field is 4 Mountains 1 Valakut, the Molten Pinacle, 2 Arid Mesa. I crack 1 Arid Mesa putting a Mountain into play, will Valakut trigger in order to check if there are 5 other mountains in play giving me a chance to crack the other Arid Mesa, putting another Mountain into play? Which would give me the Valakut activation for both mountains.

Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle

Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle enters the battlefield tapped.
Whenever a Mountain enters the battlefield under your control, if you control at least five other Mountains, you may have Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle deal 3 damage to target creature or player.

The ability will not trigger if the condition is not true.Quote:
603.4. A triggered ability may read "When/Whenever/At [trigger event], if [condition], [effect]." When the trigger event occurs, the ability checks whether the stated condition is true. The ability triggers only if it is; otherwise it does nothing. If the ability triggers, it checks the stated condition again as it resolves. If the condition isn't true at that time, the ability is removed from the stack and does nothing. Note that this mirrors the check for legal targets. This rule is referred to as the "intervening 'if' clause" rule. (The word "if" has only its normal English meaning anywhere else in the text of a card; this rule only applies to an "if" that immediately follows a trigger condition.)
Alright, but if I Harrow sacing a Forest putting Mountains #5 and #6 into play I will get both of the Valakut triggers correct?
The lands come into play at the same time, so when when Valakut checks whether it triggers you'll have six mountains in play.Quote:
