Teferi's Puzzle Box question

[Guest]

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

what exactly is the effect of having multiple copies of Teferi's Puzzle
Box in play at once? i assume that you would have to gothrough the
motions for each copy that is in play, but i just want to check before
the question comes up (i'm making a deck around the card, so this is a
preventative strike).

thanks in advance,

If you have more than one of these, each effect triggers separately.

Teferi's Puzzle Box
{4}
Artifact
At the beginning of each player's draw step, that player puts the
cards in his or her hand on the bottom of his or her library in any
order, then draws that many cards.

TPB triggers at the beginning of your draw step. After you drew a card
all triggered abilities go onto the stack. Then you get priority. When
you let the first TPB resolve you put you hand on the bottom of your
library and draw an equal amount of card. Then again you get priority
etc. So this means you can play instants from your hand between the
resolutions of the TPBs but at the 'cost' of drawing less new cards
for you hand.

Each one will cycle your hand to the bottom of your library (after you draw).

Yes, but it's not JUST "going through the motions"...you could draw a good
instant that you could play during the draw step. That's the advantage (and
disadvantage, since it's symmetrical, unlike the somewhat similar Scroll Rack).

Both Walter Mondale in 1984 and Michael Dukakis in 1988 took the pundits'
move-to-the-right advice. After both were defeated in landslides, the
conventional wisdom was that they hadn't moved to the right far enough.

Each Box triggers seperately at the beginning of your upkeep, so yes,
you would have to follow its instructions once for every copy you had in
play.

They all trigger at the same time; they all go on the stack; they resolve
separately. (If more than one player controls them AND there's other things
around triggering at the start of draw step, then active player's go down with
active player's other triggered abilities and opponent's go up with that
opponent's other triggered abilities; remember that the player who controls
the Puzzle Box, _not_ the player being told to do something by its effect,
is who controls the ability. This usually doesn't matter though.)

You are correct.

You have time in between resolutions to play Instants you've just drawn
and resolve Underworld Dreams damage that triggers off the Puzzle Box draws,
of course.
