MTG: Vengeful Pharaoh?
Just making sure I'm playing this right. The rulings for the card deal with only one Vengeful Pharaoh in your graveyard and not multiple ones.
Vengeful Pharaoh
http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.asp...
Converted Mana Cost: 5
Types: Creature — Zombie
Card Text: Deathtouch (Any amount of damage this deals to a creature is enough to destroy it.)
Whenever combat damage is dealt to you or a planeswalker you control, if Vengeful Pharaoh is in your graveyard, destroy target attacking creature, then put Vengeful Pharaoh on top of your library.
P/T: 5 / 4
Scenario 1: My opponent attacks with one 1/1 goblin and is unblocked. I have two Vengeful Pharaoh in my graveyard.
I would play this as both Vengeful Pharaoh's on damage dealt abilities would trigger. And the resolution would be: I take 1 damage from the goblin, the goblin is then destroyed and both Vengeful Pharaoh are placed on top my library.
Scenario 2: My opponent attack with two 1/1 goblin and are unblocked. I have two Vengeful Pharaoh in my graveyard.
I would play this as both Vengeful Pharaoh's on damage dealt abilities would trigger. And the resolution would be: I take 2 damage from the goblins, then I would choose which goblin each of the Pharaoh's abilities will trigger against, and both Vengeful Pharaoh are placed on top my library.
I think I'm correct with these two scenarios, but I'm not sure about if the attacking creature needs to be destroyed in order for the Pharaoh to be placed on the library. For instance in Scenario 1 two Pharaoh triggers go on the stack. The first one resolves destroying the goblin and then returning the Pharaoh to my library. The next Pharaoh's trigger resolves, but the goblin is no longer in play thus I'm not sure if the second Pharaoh should go onto my library. I think with the word "then" in the text it would mean for the attacking creature would have to be destroyed.
Personally I think it would be quite a detriment to have to put both the Pharaoh on my library for a 1/1 creature. I know at least one of them would be there, but both could set me back father by having to pull the same two cards over again.
Also in Scenario 2 say the second goblin has an ondeath(), kamikaze ability that I might not want to trigger, if I could avoid triggering it by targeting the more friendly goblin with both Pharaoh triggers I would defiantly do that (which I am 99% sure isn't a problem unless there is some rule clause I'm not thinking of), just not sure if both my Pharaoh would be out of my graveyard for the next time it attack.
Just making sure I'd play this correctly.

In either case, both Pharaohs would trigger. However, if you were to target the same creature with both, and it did not somehow survive the first Pharaoh's ability's resolution, it would no longer be a legal target for the second Pharaoh's ability's resolution, which would then counter that ability in full, preventing it from going to your library.
