Flickering priority using Conjurer's Closet

[gorem2k]

I got a question for you guys,

I'm currently building an unrestricted combo deck with Conjurer's Closet. Now, what happen is when I have Meadowboon in play, if I choose to flicker it with the closet, it comes back and gives itself a +1/+1 counter. Here's Meadowboon code I have:

Code: Select all

  <TRIGGERED_ABILITY>
    <LOCALISED_TEXT LanguageCode="en-US"><![CDATA[When Meadowboon leaves the battlefield, put a +1/+1 counter on each creature target player controls.]]></LOCALISED_TEXT>
    <TRIGGER value="ZONECHANGE_BEGIN" simple_qualifier="self" to_zone="ZONE_ANY" from_zone="ZONE_BATTLEFIELD" />
    <TARGET tag="CARD_QUERY_CHOOSE_A_PLAYER_TO_TARGET" definition="0" compartment="0" count="1" />
    <TARGET_DEFINITION id="0">
    local filter = ClearFilter()
    filter:SetFilterType( FILTER_TYPE_PLAYERS )
    </TARGET_DEFINITION>
    <FILTER filter_id="0">
    local target = EffectDC():Get_Targets(0):Get_PlayerPtr(0)
    if target ~= nil then
       local filter = ClearFilter()
       filter:Add(FE_TYPE, OP_IS, CARD_TYPE_CREATURE )
       filter:Add(FE_CONTROLLER, OP_IS, target )
    end
    </FILTER>
    <RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION filter_id="0">
    if FilteredCard() ~= nil then
       FilteredCard():AddCounters( MTG():PlusOnePlusOneCounters(), 1)
    end
    </RESOLUTION_TIME_ACTION>
    <AI_SIMPLIFIED_TARGETING compartment="0" hint="HINT_ALLIED_ONLY" />
  </TRIGGERED_ABILITY>


My question is, shouldn't Meadowboon give these counters while it's exiled and then enter without any counters?

Is there a way I can apply this effect before it returns? I know there's a priority="?" but I don't really know how it works.

Thanks in advance.

Ok, I found an answer here

I think that is correct. The Conjurer's Closet blinking ability is all in a single ability. So when Meadowboon leaves play it's ability goes on the stack but doesn't get a chance to resolve until after it comes back into play. Priority shouldn't be passed during the middle of the Conjurer's Closet ability resolving.

Cool

This will make my custom deck even more powerful.
