Rulings
- 2014-09-20 · wotc — Prowess goes on the stack on top of the spell that caused it to trigger. It will resolve before that spell.
- 2014-09-20 · wotc — Once it triggers, prowess isn't connected to the spell that caused it to trigger. If that spell is countered, prowess will still resolve.
- 2014-09-20 · wotc — Any spell you cast that doesn't have the type creature will cause prowess to trigger. If a spell has multiple types, and one of those types is creature (such as an artifact creature), casting it won't cause prowess to trigger. Playing a land also won't cause prowess to trigger.
- 2021-03-19 · wotc — An ability that triggers when a player casts a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
