Clock of Omens + Magda, Brazen Outlaw + Roaming Throne

Overview

If you activate Clock of Omens and tap Roaming Throne as one of the two artifacts to pay the cost, Magda’s triggered ability (“Whenever a Dwarf you control becomes tapped, create a Treasure token.”) will trigger for Roaming Throne becoming tapped, and Roaming Throne’s last ability causes that triggered ability to trigger an additional time, producing two Treasure tokens. The untap from Clock of Omens does not cause Magda to trigger because untapping is not a "becomes tapped" event. See Ruling [2023-11-10] and Ruling [2021-02-05] and ability-location rule .

Step 1

You activate Clock of Omens by announcing the activated ability and paying its costs, which include tapping two untapped artifacts you control.

Step 2

As part of paying that cost you tap Roaming Throne (an artifact creature chosen as the Dwarf type) and a second artifact (which may or may not be a Dwarf).

Step 3

When Roaming Throne becomes tapped, that is an instance of "a Dwarf you control becomes tapped," so Magda’s triggered ability triggers. Because Roaming Throne’s static ability says a triggered ability of another creature you control of the chosen type triggers an additional time, Magda’s trigger is put onto the stack twice (two separate trigger objects) — see Ruling [2023-11-10].

Step 4

The activation of Clock of Omens (which you already paid for) is put on the stack and later resolves. When Clock of Omens’ ability resolves it untaps the target artifact (you may target Roaming Throne itself).

Step 5

The untap from Clock of Omens does not cause Magda to trigger, because Magda cares about permanents becoming tapped, not becoming untapped, and an untap is not a "becomes tapped" event — see Ruling [2021-02-05].

Step 6

Each Magda triggered ability on the stack resolves separately, and each creates one Treasure token, so the two triggers produce two Treasures in this interaction — see Ruling [2023-11-10].

Resolution

When you pay Clock of Omens’ activation cost by tapping Roaming Throne (an artifact creature that you chose to be the chosen type, e.g. Dwarf), Magda’s triggered ability triggered by that creature becoming tapped will trigger twice due to Roaming Throne’s last ability (it causes the triggered ability to trigger an additional time) — see Ruling [2023-11-10]. The untap effect from Clock of Omens resolving does not cause another Magda trigger because Magda triggers only when a Dwarf actually becomes tapped; untapping is not a "becomes tapped" event and attempting to tap an already-tapped permanent won’t cause the trigger either — see Ruling [2021-02-05] and .
