let's say a card says "when a goblin comes into play, you gain a thousand life" and as it were, the card that says that is a goblin creature so, when you play this creature, would you gain 1000 life? or does it only count for future goblin creatures played? | ||

Think about what you're saying, if it worked that way everything that says "when this comes into play, bounce target x" or whatever wouldn't work. You gain 1000 life, it works. however a modern card would never be templated that way as they recognize the potential confusion arising from it. Try checking oracle wording for the one you're curious about. | ||

I don't know the exact reasons why as far as rulings are concerned, not sure, but most of the interactions that you can do support this, same reason why valakut doesn't work when you just play a 5th mountain, but if you bring a 5th and 6th mountain into play at the same time you get 2 triggers. | ||

- Goblin resolves - Goblin enters the battlefield - Now play could resume, so the game does a quick check to make sure everything that should be happening is. It sees that you have an ability that gains you 1000 life whenever a goblin enters play, and that a goblin entered play since the last time it checked, so it creates a triggered ability to gain 1000 life and you put it on the stack. | ||

Try checking oracle wording for the one you're curious about. This. All modern cards and the retroactive oracle text for past cards use one of the following wordings to avoid confusion: "Whenever another <type> enters the battlefield..." or "Whenever <this> or another <type> enters the battlefield..." The best way to confirm which one the card in question is meant to be is to check the current oracle text. | ||

 What do you guys think? Didn't get to play any FNMs yet but I'll post some results when I have!It's the swedish magic site but you should be able to see all the cards just fine: http://www.svenskamagic.com/deckbox/index.php?ID=69121&format=Allt&kategori=Allt | ||

It triggers on a Spirit or Arcane spell being *played*, not on coming into play (part of the reason that WotC now words "comes into play" as "enters the battlefield" is so that "x is played" triggers and "x comes into play" triggers don't get confused, as they are here). In that case, it does not trigger it's own ability. | ||

It's just that it's not really the best place to go for info with regard to deckbuilding/competitive help because of how widely the player skill can vary. | ||
