Rulings
2 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2019-10-04
Chulane's triggered ability resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
- 2019-10-04
Chulane's triggered ability doesn't count as playing a land. It can put a land card onto the battlefield even if you've already played your land for the turn, and even if it's not your turn.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
