Staff of Verdant Shoots

Staff of Verdant Shoots has a trigger-static ability that is connected to its preceding activated ability and triggers only when one or more Earth cards are pitched as part of activating that ability (e.g. paying for its cost).

You must pitch Earth cards to trigger this effect; paying to activate this using already generated resources from previously pitched Earth cards will not trigger this effect.

If an event that deals arcane damage is fully prevented, it does not count as dealing arcane damage, and thus does not trigger the delayed trigger.
