Official rulings
Four official rulings apply to Wavebreak Hippocamp, newest first.
- An ability that triggers when you cast a spell resolves before the spell that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell is countered.
- This ability triggers only on your very first spell during an opponent's turn, not the first spell after the card is on the battlefield. If you cast a spell before it's on the battlefield (including if you cast this card somehow during an opponent's turn), the ability won't trigger.
- In a Two-Headed Giant game, this ability triggers no more than once during each opposing team's turn.
- If you have more than one opponent, this ability can trigger once during each of those opponents' turns.
