Can You Flicker an Evoked Mulldrifter?

Flickering, as we know, is an option to remove a permanent’s counters and auras while also dodging targeted removal. But can we use this ability to salvage our Mulldrifter?

Let’s dive into the mechanics and explore the possibility.

Flickering Evoke

First off, Yes, we can flicker an evoked Mulldrifter! Since flickering is responding to a triggered ability, the sacrifice trigger hits the stack, and we have an opportunity to respond.

Imagine a scenario where we have an evoked Mulldrifter on the table with a sacrifice trigger already resolved. We can, as soon as the sacrifice ability hits the stack, play Momentary Blink, a popular flickering artifact, to exile our Mulldrifter and skip its sacrifice. Afterward, our Mulldrifter comes back into play at end of turn, giving us a second draw step as the sacrifice ability had passed. This sequence proves Yes, we can successfully flicker an evoked Mulldrifter.

  • Highlighted: Flickering Mulldrifter = Potential second draw step. Keep this in mind during further interactions.

Persistent Mulligrifter

Suppose our Mulldrifter enters the battlefield without sacrifice using the evoke cost or from other means. Since mulldrifter is the best thing since sliced bread with persist, can we benefit from its persistence to reactivate the sacrifice? Fortunately, Yes again!

Can We Repeat Flicker and Repeat Draw?

Once your Mulldrifter persited and comes back under your control, it loses all abilities! Hence, it won’t have the evoke ability, neither of its other abilities nor a trigger. If there wasn’t any additional help coming in, the dream could have ended. That aside, there are always solutions and more!

Take Muldrotha, Gravetide as our enabler. It seems crazy but, indeed! According to the Muldrotha ability, we are not restricted to a singular trigger resolution. So while that sacrifice instance might be stuck within that initial state, subsequent triggers reset in play for additional resolutions.

This gives way for Mulldrifter to flicker and repeat, possibly achieving that fleeting extra draw step

How to Make this Scenario Happen

This miracle hinges on our execution plan to:

  • Set it up with the flickering option
  • Let go of the initial 1st draw because sacrifices cannot be repeated (initial loss of abilities)
    Additional draws are granted using new trigger resolutions with

    The Bottom Line:

    Yes, we can fliper an evoked mulldrifter, not merely the first instance in terms of draw but potential multi draw opportunities

A potential flicker for persist gives an extra chance on persistence of Mulldrifter!
