You can only draw "when" you are blocked. The problem is you are no longer being blocked because King David is being captured. Why would you get to still draw?   "If blocked is different than"when" blocked.

I see no reason why you would get to draw later if  you do not draw exactly when the evil character blocks like the card says.

I'm confused as to what you are trying to say should happen.



What I was trying to say was this: I think  that you have to respond to the trigger right when it is triggered or you cant use the ability. The proposal condtridicts this by saying you can draw after  king David is captured. I am saying that exactly when the EC blocks then you draw the card play next and his sa actives, because it seems like the act of blocking is a game action that occurs when you present the ec in battle then separetly the special ability completes which means the trigger from Throne of David would kick in before the special ability.  That is just how I see it. (I know I am wrong, but I need to know why/ what part I am wrong about)

I see.

Basically, the SA of any character entering the Field of Battle must complete before any trigger can activate.

That is exactly what is happening.

Right, because the Evil Character has to enter battle in order to trigger Throne.  Presenting an EC activates his ability, it is one single event.  There is no gap between the playing of a card and the activation of a card, and it has been intended to be ruled that way consistently for at least three years now, dating back to the rule changes about playing Dominants and the downfall of the "human action".

Then the trigger can never be activated because it says "when" not "if" blocked so you shouldn't get to draw.

If that was exactly happening then I wouldn't be able to draw a card.

Now what you are missing is the fact that all of this is happening at the same moment (as if time was frozen). The EC enters battle during a RA, so he is "blocking." The fact that King David is not there does not change the fact that a "block" is taking place, especially since a negate card can still be played. I would equate it with the Every Man's Sword scenario, where the status of the RA/BC can change after all SAs complete. TToD is activated because a block has been initiated by the EC's presence. Until Battle Resolution comes into effect, the EC is still "blocking."

I have to agree with thehobbit. By the time my ability completes, David isn't in battle, so david isn't being blocked, cuz the battle is over (assuming no negates cuz they go against the normal flow of battle)

There would not even be a battle if your purple king is not being blocked. Egyptian Warden cannot enter the Field of Battle because he feels like it. The overarching scenario is still a RA by King David until the battle is resolved. Battle Resolution can not begin until all SA are completed.

That makes no sense.  The blocker blocks, the trigger activates.  It's that simple.  What is this "never can be" coming from?

Um, yes, you would.  The blocker blocks, and when that happens, you draw a card.

By the time my ability completes, David isn't in battle, so david isn't being blocked, cuz the battle is over (assuming no negates cuz they go against the normal flow of battle)

Warden captures a Hero in battle.  In order for it to capture a Hero in battle, David must be in battle, and Warden must be presented as the blocker.  You're overthinking the plumbing.

So basically Throne of David is triggered when eygptian warden enters battle but it cant take effect until his ability is completed but when his ability is completed I get to draw because throne room was triggered? Thanks you YMT, Shaef, and BrianGabe for your help and patience.  :)
