Revel in Riches
AI DraftFeb 26, 2026

Old Gnawbone + Revel in Riches

Overview
When Old Gnawbone deals combat damage to a player, its triggered ability creates that many Treasure tokens when that ability resolves; Revel in Riches’s win condition only checks at the beginning of your upkeep, and you only win if you control ten or more Treasures as that upkeep ability resolves [2017-09-29].
Step 1
Combat damage is dealt in the combat damage step. When Old Gnawbone (or any creature you control) deals combat damage to a player, that is the event that causes Old Gnawbone’s triggered ability to trigger .
Step 2
That triggered ability is put on the stack following the normal procedure for triggered abilities and will resolve when it reaches the top of the stack .
Step 3
When Old Gnawbone’s triggered ability resolves, it creates a number of Treasure tokens equal to the combat damage dealt; those tokens enter the battlefield under your control.
Step 4
Revel in Riches’ first ability (on opponent creature death) is separate and creates Treasures when opponents’ creatures die; those tokens also enter the battlefield under their controller’s control .
Step 5
At the beginning of your upkeep, Revel in Riches’ second ability triggers and is put on the stack; when that ability resolves it checks whether you control ten or more Treasures and causes you to win the game only if you do .
Step 6
If you reach ten or more Treasures at some point other than the beginning of your upkeep, Revel in Riches does not immediately make you win — the win only happens as described above when the upkeep ability resolves (see Ruling [2017-09-29]).
Resolution
Old Gnawbone’s combat-damage trigger creates Treasure tokens equal to the damage dealt when that triggered ability resolves. Revel in Riches does not cause you to immediately win upon creating your tenth Treasure; you only win if, at the beginning of your upkeep, you control ten or more Treasures when Revel in Riches’s second ability resolves (Ruling [2017-09-29]).
