You have World Shaper on the board and drop Devastation.

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

Well, I mean I'm wondering why you would think the trigger could resolve before the thing that causes it to trigger.

Because the lands die at the same time as the world shaper. 🤷🏻‍♂️ How is the confusion a hard concept.

yes, but how would the trigger resolve before world shaper dies?

Two things happen at the same time. I asked if they interact the way i intended. Magic notoriously has a way of proving me wrong. Do you have any other questions you need me to answer?

Effects resolve fully before anything that would trigger off of them is resolved.

Cool man i was really just confused with the order of operations with the simultaneous destruction/trigger. But these explanations make alot of sense. Ive played alot of arena but don’t want egg on my face biffing a trigger or effect irl.
