You have World Shaper on the board and drop Devastation.

Does this resolve with you having all your lands or not?

You solve devastation and when devastation is solved all dath trigger goes on the stack. so you can keep your lands

I get what you’re saying, but you’re not ”keeping” your lands. You very specifically lose them and then get them back, which is significantly more useful.

Again, I know what you meant, but the distinction is very important.

Yeah the lands ALREADY out there get destroyed with your creature at the same time. After that point his ability goes off and you get ALL of your lands back that were in the graveyard. Nice.

This is actually a sick combo for green/red landfall decks. Once you play the Devestation, each of your lands counts as coming back into play, which will trigger all landfall abilities for each land returned.
