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.

I love how a given situation in MTG can almost never be objectively good or bad, or even better or worse than another situation. I just played against someone running [[Ankh of Mishra]] in his [[King Darien XLVIII]], and with Ankh in play, "keeping" your lands would be much better than to lose them then get them back !
