Can someone explain the Valakut combo to me?
The idea is that you Scapeshift, say, 10 mountains and 2 Valakuts, into play and they all enter the field at the same time. Because of this, all ten will trigger on each Valakut, not just the last 5. Right?
So if all the mountains are in the process of entering the field ("whenever a mountain enters the battlefield..." - Valakut) at the same time, how come Valakut's ability triggers. It seems to me that if the Valakut is scapeshifted with the mountains and the mountains all enter the field simultaneously, then the Valakuts would enter alongside the mountains and thus they would not be in play for their abilities to activate until the mountains are in played (and thus have already "entered the battlefield").
But my brother was telling me that the ruling is that it's a viable combo. Thoughts?
