so im playing commander with a new deck and i have just come across a confusing situation: Reyhan, Last Of The Abzan + Vastwood Hydra + Abzan Ascendancy then my brother cast a Rout
do the deathtriggers on reyhan and the hydra cast at the same time as the abzan enchantment, so does that mean after rout kills my creatures can i put all the counters from the two cars on the 1/1 tokens the enchantment creates apon death?
Abilities are not cast. In this case, they trigger. And they trigger at the same time so you, as their controller, can order them how you want. This means that you can make sure the Ascendancy triggers resolve first to then allow the Hydra trigger to put counters on the new tokens.
Reyhan though is a different matter. While you can put those triggers on the stack wherever you want, the triggers do target which means the targets need to be chosen when the triggers are put onto the stack. At that time, since none of the Ascendancy triggers have resolved yet, there are no creatures to target since they all died to Rout.
cant i just choose the order as ascendancy then since the spirits are on the feild then use reyhans ability then the hydra or will the hydra only trigger because of the hydra says put the counters on any creature and reyhan would not trigger because it needs a specific target
my bad for grammar and spelling im half asleep

While you can choose the order the triggers go on the stack, it won't help you here. Reyhan's ability targets, which means you have to choose a legal target for the trigger when it's put on the stack. No matter how you stack the triggers, the tokens from the Ascendancy have not been created when you're choosing the target for Reyhan's trigger, so you will not be able to put the counters on one of your new tokens.
