Altanak's second ability resolves before the spell or ability that caused it to trigger. It resolves even if that spell or ability is countered or otherwise leaves the stack without resolving.
- WotCSep 20, 2024
If a spell or ability targets Altanak more than once, its second ability still triggers only once.
