Niv Mizzet and Thousand Year Storm

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to make sure I understood this interaction. If my opponent has Niv Mizzet, Parun and I have thousand year storm, after casting a spell the triggers would be (First to Last): My Spell, Thousand Year trigger, Niv Mizzet Trigger. Is that correct? So Niv Mizzet's ability would resolve before the spell is copied?

You can actually choose! Spell goes on stack first, then two triggers happen simultaneously, allowing you to choose which goes on the stack first. (Just remember that the last ability put on stack resolves first)

Oh that's great! Getting the copies before they draw a card was important in Match I played earlier. I'll be more prepared next time. Thank you very much!

Actually, this other fella is mistaken, both trigger wants to go on the stack but the order they will depends on who's turn it is (Active player then Non-Active Player). If its your turn your trigger of TYS goes on the stack first and then Niv Mizzet second. Niv's trigger will resolve first.

(and vice versa)

You were actually correct in your question.

Og, right! I didn't read the question correctly, and thought he controlled both Niv and the Storm. Sorry 'bout that!
