Cloudstone Curio + Dockside Extortionist

Overview

When Dockside Extortionist enters the battlefield it and Cloudstone Curio each trigger. Cloudstone Curio’s trigger can only return another permanent that shares a permanent type with the entering permanent (so, because Dockside is a creature, it can return another creature you control), and it cannot return the entering Dockside itself because the ability says “another.” The Treasure tokens created by Dockside are artifacts (they do not share the creature type), so Cloudstone Curio cannot return those tokens; whether Dockside’s treasure-creation trigger resolves before or after Curio’s trigger doesn’t make those tokens eligible for Curio. See the permanent-type rule and the Dockside ruling about counting artifact/enchantment permanents once (Ruling [2025-10-02]).

Step 1

Dockside Extortionist enters the battlefield; Cloudstone Curio sees a nonartifact permanent you control (the Dockside) entering and its triggered ability triggers, and Dockside’s own triggered ability (create X Treasure tokens) also triggers.

Step 2

The controller of the simultaneous triggers orders those triggers on the stack (APNAP ordering for simultaneous triggers is used when different players control the triggers).

Step 3

If Dockside’s trigger resolves first, it creates X Treasure tokens. Those Treasure tokens are artifacts (per Dockside’s Oracle text) and therefore do not share the creature permanent type with Dockside; Cloudstone’s trigger, when it later resolves, still requires returning another permanent that shares a permanent type with the entering permanent (a creature) .

Step 4

If Cloudstone’s trigger resolves first, you may return another permanent you control that shares a permanent type with Dockside (so another creature). You cannot return the entering Dockside itself because Cloudstone’s ability says “another.”

Step 5

At no point can Cloudstone Curio return the Treasure tokens created by Dockside because they are artifacts and not creatures, so they don’t meet the “shares a permanent type” requirement relative to Dockside .

Step 6

When calculating X for Dockside’s trigger, remember an opponent’s artifact that is also an enchantment counts only once toward X (Ruling [2025-10-02]).

Resolution

Cloudstone Curio’s trigger from Dockside Extortionist entering can only return another creature you control (it can’t return the entering Dockside), and it cannot return the Treasure tokens created by Dockside because those tokens are artifacts and therefore do not share the creature permanent type with Dockside . For calculating X on Dockside, an opponent’s artifact that is also an enchantment is counted only once (Ruling [2025-10-02]).
