Ghostly Dancers + Secret Arcade // Dusty Parlor

Overview

If you control a Secret Arcade effect (a copy of the Secret Arcade half) that makes your permanent spells enchantments and you also control a Dusty Parlor effect (a copy of the Dusty Parlor half) with its triggered ability on the battlefield, casting Ghostly Dancers will be treated as casting an enchantment spell and will cause Dusty Parlor’s “Whenever you cast an enchantment spell” ability to trigger (the spell’s mana value is used for that trigger). When Ghostly Dancers then resolves and enters the battlefield, its enter-the-battlefield ability and its Eerie triggers (for an enchantment entering and for fully unlocking a Room, if you choose to unlock a door) will trigger as appropriate. The timing/order is: triggers that watch for casting go on the stack when you cast the spell ; ETB- and unlock-related triggers are created when it enters the battlefield and are handled after state-based actions as usual .

Step 1

If you control a permanent that says 'nonland permanents you control and permanent spells you control are enchantments in addition to their other types' (a Secret Arcade effect) at the time you announce casting Ghostly Dancers, Ghostly Dancers is treated as an enchantment spell while it's on the stack .

Step 2

When you finish casting Ghostly Dancers, any 'When you cast an enchantment spell' triggers (for example from a Dusty Parlor already on the battlefield) are created and go on the stack .

Step 3

Ghostly Dancers resolves and is put onto the battlefield; because it was an enchantment spell as it resolved it will enter as an enchantment in addition to its creature type .

Step 4

When Ghostly Dancers enters the battlefield its ETB triggered ability ('When this creature enters...') triggers and is put on the stack, and its Eerie triggered ability ('Whenever an enchantment you control enters...') also triggers because it entered as an enchantment if the Secret Arcade static effect is present .

Step 5

If you choose Ghostly Dancers' ETB option to unlock a locked door of a Room you control, that unlocking may cause a 'whenever you fully unlock a Room' trigger (Eerie) to trigger; the conditions for 'fully unlock' follow Ruling [2024-09-20].

Step 6

All triggered abilities are placed on the stack in APNAP order and resolve normally; Dusty Parlor’s cast-trigger, when it resolves, will put a number of +1/+1 counters equal to the spell’s mana value (Ghostly Dancers’ mana value is 5) on up to one target creature.

Resolution

If a separate Secret Arcade effect is making your permanent spells enchantments at the time you cast Ghostly Dancers, Dusty Parlor’s cast-trigger will trigger and use Ghostly Dancers’ mana value to determine counters; Ghostly Dancers’ own ETB and Eerie triggers then trigger when it enters. If no effect makes the creature spell an enchantment while it is being cast, Dusty Parlor will not trigger on that cast, though Ghostly Dancers’ ETB and any resulting Room-unlock Eerie triggers still function normally Ruling [2024-09-20].
