Displace, Acclimate, and Threat ordering

Question

In what order do the triggers around a swap resolve?

Answer

Acclimate first, for both units, then Threat once for the pair.

1. 900.22aThe two displaced units each resolve Acclimate in turn, in a fixed order that is not board reading order.
2. 900.22bThreat resolves after both, once for the pair rather than once per unit.
3. 900.22cThreat still fires when an Acclimate killed one of the displaced units, because the pair event already occurred and is not retracted.
4. 900.22dKeyword auras and adjacency-derived state are refreshed immediately before the triggers, so an Acclimate reads the post-swap board.
5. 900.22eDisplace selects a fresh partner on each occurrence, so a repeated Displace can swap the same pair back and forth and fire the triggers each time.
6. 900.22fA Large Giant only swaps with another Large, and a Huge only with another Huge.
