Accepted Answer

The trigger event doesn't have to specifically refer to “creatures.” In these cases, the trigger event may also refer to something being “put into a graveyard from the battlefield.” For example, an ability that triggers “whenever an artifact is put into a graveyard from the battlefield” would trigger twice if an artifact creature dies while Teysa Karlov is on the battlefield.

Question 2

Ruling for Teysa Karlov: An ability that triggers when a creature “leaves the battlefield” will trigger t...

Accepted Answer

An ability that triggers when a creature “leaves the battlefield” will trigger twice if that creature leaves the battlefield by dying.

Question 3

Ruling for Teysa Karlov: An ability of a permanent that triggers when a card is put into a graveyard “fro...

Accepted Answer

An ability of a permanent that triggers when a card is put into a graveyard “from anywhere” triggers twice only if Teysa and that permanent are both still on the battlefield immediately after the creature has died.

Question 4

Ruling for Teysa Karlov: An ability that triggers on an event that causes a creature to die doesn't trigg...

Accepted Answer

An ability that triggers on an event that causes a creature to die doesn't trigger twice. For example, an ability that triggers “whenever you sacrifice a creature” triggers only once.

Question 5

Ruling for Teysa Karlov: Teysa affects a creature's own “when this creature dies” triggered abilities as ...

Accepted Answer

Teysa affects a creature's own “when this creature dies” triggered abilities as well as other triggered abilities that trigger when that creature dies. Such triggered abilities start with “when” or “whenever.”

Question 6

Ruling for Teysa Karlov: If a creature dying at the same time that another permanent you control leaves t...

Accepted Answer

If a creature dying at the same time that another permanent you control leaves the battlefield causes a triggered ability of that permanent to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.

Question 7

Ruling for Teysa Karlov: If you somehow control two Teysas, a creature dying causes abilities to trigger ...

Accepted Answer

If you somehow control two Teysas, a creature dying causes abilities to trigger three times, not four. A third Teysa causes abilities to trigger four times, a fourth causes abilities to trigger five times, and so on. This also means that if you control Teysa and cast a second one, an ability that triggers when it dies due to the “legend rule” triggers three times.

Question 8

Ruling for Teysa Karlov: Teysa's effect doesn't copy the triggered ability; it just causes the ability to...

Accepted Answer

Teysa's effect doesn't copy the triggered ability; it just causes the ability to trigger twice. Any choices made as you put the ability onto the stack, such as modes and targets, are made separately for each instance of the ability. Any choices made on resolution, such as whether to pay a cost for that triggered ability, are also made separately.

Question 9

Ruling for Teysa Karlov: If a creature dying at the same time as Teysa (including Teysa itself dying) cau...

Accepted Answer

If a creature dying at the same time as Teysa (including Teysa itself dying) causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.

Question 10

Ruling for Teysa Karlov: Look at each creature as it exists on the battlefield, taking into account conti...

Accepted Answer

Look at each creature as it exists on the battlefield, taking into account continuous effects, to determine whether any triggered abilities will trigger multiple times. For example, if a land that has become a creature dies, an ability that triggers when it dies triggers twice.
