Multiple Elfhame Sanctuaries

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.trading-cards.magic.rules (More info?)

Hello !

This time my question is about this:

Elfhame Sanctuary
{1}{G}
Enchantment
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may search your library for a basic
land card, reveal that card, and put it into your hand. If you do, skip
your draw step this turn and shuffle your library.

So far, so good. But what if I have two or more of them into play ? Can
I use each ability of each copy of it, or can I use it only once ?

You can have multiple Sanctuaries in play, of course, and each one will
trigger at the beginning of your upkeep. Therefore you will be able to
search for two lands. If you only want to use one though, bear in mind
you will STILL lose your draw step for the turn.

Each one's ability will trigger, independently of any other one's that may
be in play. All will go onto the stack at the same time; each will resolve
separately. So you can get up to as many basic land cards that upkeep as you
have Elfhame Sanctuaries in play (or as many as are left in your library, of
course). Each one will tell you to skip your draw step this turn, if you
searched; being told this multiple times is no different from being told it
once. Each will tell you to shuffle your library, so you shuffle then.

[If it didn't say 'this turn' then the draw-step-skipping would accumulate,
and you'd have "skip your next draw step" effects waiting around to hit you
in future turns. But it does limit itself to "this turn" only, so multiple
ESes don't have a bigger drawback than just one in this sense.]

Sure. Nowhere on the card says you have to have a draw step this turn for it
to happen (which means it works just fine with Necropotence, et al...)
