Any other effects those spells have will work as normal. Those spells will resolve, but the part of their effect that would counter Emrakul won’t do anything. It resolves even if that spell is somehow removed from the stack.Įmrakul can be targeted by spells that try to counter it (such as Countersquall). If it isn’t blocked, it simply won’t deal combat damage to anything.Įmrakul’s second ability triggers as you cast it, and that ability resolves before the spell itself. If a creature with annihilator is attacking a planeswalker, and the defending player chooses to sacrifice that planeswalker, the attacking creature continues to attack. Any creatures sacrificed this way won’t be able to block. The defending player chooses and sacrifices the required number of permanents before they declare blockers.


Annihilator abilities trigger and resolve during the declare attackers step.
