    "Additional Time" and not legendary. This can get out of hand.

    The real question is does this triggering a triggered ability for a second time count as a triggered ability? So if I've got 2 of them, do I get the triggered ability 1 for the original, 2 for the first twinflame, 3 for the second twinflame, then 4 and 5 as they trigger off each other?

    I believe this is a replacement effect, so they wouldn't trigger of eachother.

    Not a replacement effect. Those are defined in 614. Replacement Effects and generally have “instead”, “skip”, “prevent”or “as ~ enters”

    This is a static ability.

    In 604.2 under your link, static abilities create continuous effects which can be replacement effects. So saying this isn’t a replacement effect isn’t really correct AFAIK

    parent root
    1 points Cablead

    But it isn’t a replacement effect. The static ability generates a continuous effect that alters the rules for triggering.

    614.1 specifies the rules text formatting for replacement effects and this wording doesn’t fall under any of them. The rest of 614 also enumerates the different types of replacement effects and doesn’t list additional triggers.

    No. This is a replacement effect, not a triggered ability. Two of them would cause three triggers to be put on the stack; they themselves don't have triggers.

    Would this trigger with [[maelstrom wonderer]] ?

    parent
    10 points naphomci

    No I don't think so, because it would be a spell on the stack where this card would not see it.

    parent root
    1 points TheTary

    it might because it doesn't specify elemental creature, and it would be an elemental spell on the stack (like a kindred card) but I feel like something else is preventing it.

    The Twinflames specifically care about Elemental permanents. Cascade is a triggered ability part of the casting of a spell, not a permanent on the battlefield.

    parent root
    1 points TheTary

    twinflame doesn't indicate permanent, just "elemental"

    parent root
    3 points spasticity

    109.2. If a spell or ability uses a description of an object that includes a card type or subtype, but doesn’t refer to a specific zone or include the word “card,” “spell,” “source,” or “scheme,” it means a permanent of that card type or subtype on the battlefield.

    Roaming Throne but for elementals. Evoke this with [[Ashling, the Limitless]] and create 2 Twinflame Travellers. Next thing you Evoke may just end the game. Rottenmouth Vipor would be 276 damage.

    I dont think so. "If this is the third time" is a line in the ability.

    parent root
    0 points TheAlterN8or

    Yes, but the 'If' would imply it's a triggered ability, even if it's tied to an activated ability. I'm not an expert though, so I could be wrong.

    Just thought of the perfect existing arena example. With [[sephiroth fabled soldier]] it does not create a separate triggered ability for "if this is the fourth time" it just happens as part of the ability it is modifying. I can tell you this as a sephiroth player, "if this is the fourth time" does not go on the stack by itself, it happens as part of the fourth ping trigger resolved

    Its missing at when or whenever, somewhere in the sentence. So "if" isnt the defining word. Like "if at the beginning of your upkeep" is one.
