Drivnod, Carnage Dominus + Pitiless Plunderer + Reassembling Skeleton + Viscera Seer
Overview
If you sacrifice Reassembling Skeleton to Viscera Seer (the sacrifice is paid as the activation’s cost), the Skeleton is put into your graveyard and that event causes Pitiless Plunderer’s triggered ability to trigger; Drivnod causes each such triggered ability to trigger an additional time (Ruling [2023-02-04]). Each instance of Pitiless Plunderer’s triggered ability will create a Treasure token when it resolves, so a single creature dying will produce two Treasures with Drivnod active (Ruling [2018-01-19]; Ruling [2023-02-04]). Returning Reassembling Skeleton from the graveyard with its own activated ability after it dies does not retroactively change those triggers (see rule on last known information) .
Step 1
You activate Viscera Seer’s ability and pay its activation cost, which includes sacrificing a creature (that sacrifice moves Reassembling Skeleton from the battlefield to your graveyard).
Step 2
That creature dying (being put into the graveyard from the battlefield) is the event that causes Pitiless Plunderer’s "Whenever another creature you control dies" triggered ability to trigger; Drivnod makes that triggered ability trigger an additional time for that same dying event (Ruling [2023-02-04]; Ruling [2018-01-19]).
Step 3
You will get two separate triggers on the stack for Pitiless Plunderer for that single creature’s death; each trigger is a separate object and any choices for each are made separately (Ruling [2023-02-04]).
Step 4
Those triggers go on the stack (after state-based actions are checked) and, as they resolve one at a time, each will create a Treasure token when it resolves.
Step 5
At any point you have priority after the sacrifice and the triggers are on the stack you may activate Reassembling Skeleton’s graveyard ability (
: Return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped). If you do return it before the Pitiless triggers resolve, the triggers still resolve and still create Treasures because they were caused by the prior death event (see last known information) .
: Return this card from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped). If you do return it before the Pitiless triggers resolve, the triggers still resolve and still create Treasures because they were caused by the prior death event (see last known information) .Step 6
If multiple creatures died simultaneously, Pitiless triggers for each other creature; Drivnod causes each of those individual triggers to trigger an additional time, producing twice as many triggers as the number of qualifying dead creatures (Ruling [2018-01-19]; Ruling [2023-02-04]).
Resolution
When you sacrifice Reassembling Skeleton as the cost for Viscera Seer’s activated ability, the sacrifice moves the Skeleton to your graveyard and that event causes Pitiless Plunderer’s triggered ability to trigger; Drivnod makes that triggered ability trigger an additional time, so you get two separate triggered abilities that will each create a Treasure token when they resolve (Ruling [2023-02-04]; Ruling [2018-01-19]; see also state-based action handling) . If multiple creatures die at the same time, Pitiless will trigger for each other creature and Drivnod will cause each of those triggers to trigger an additional time (Ruling [2018-01-19]; Ruling [2023-02-04]). Returning Reassembling Skeleton from your graveyard (by paying its cost) after it has been sacrificed does not undo or merge the triggers already created by its death (last known information rules) .
