Passive conditions are the one thing I have no clue about. I tried to learn something the last hour, so I was reading through the CRF and
zaras Passive Condition tutorial and I am sorry to say, but I wasnt able to reproduce your conclusions.
CRF Annotation 9 wrote:
If a card specifies that an action is to occur as a result of some specific passive condition, this action becomes automatically the first action declared in the chain of effects to immediately follow the chain of effects producing the passive condition. The passive condition must exist when this resulting action is resolved in its own chain of effects, or the action is canceled. Note that actions in the strike sequence follow a different set of rules.
This annotation if I understand zara correctly (and I think I do) treats the case that a card setting up a passive condition is yet to resolve. Such cases are usually seen in Movement/Hazard Phase, as hazards need to resolve to hit the table. In my case, both Hidden Haven and Farmer Maggot have already resolved => no problem ?!

If more than one action is required to be the first action declared in a chain of effects, the player whose turn it is chooses the order in which they are declared. No other actions may be declared in this follow-up chain until the multiple required actions have been declared.
Now for annotation 10: I do understand the obvious case of somebody running into multiple ahunts and also the advanced stuff by zara with the undead enhancers. But how is it in this cased. Although I did not find any reference to this in the rules, I am inclined to believe that Hidden Haven is an action "required to be the first action declared" in the chain of effects following the play of the first creature.

I honestly do not understand this. Annotation 10 reads DECLARED and not RESOLVED. As I read it, Hidden Haven is the first action to be declared in the following chain of effects, but Farmer Maggot's effect could be used in response to that. Thus (last in first out) Farmer Maggot can resolve before Hidden Haven does.

In my case, erase the "yet again". Its my first attempt to get behind these bastards... I am pretty sure I messed something up, but I still wrote this - hoping that you help me understand passive conditions!
