so if i have brego and city of trees can i use brego's ability first then use city of tree's so it would look like

1. Start of the Skirmish
2. Exert A Minion With Brego
3. Draw A Card With City Of Trees

In fact I believe you have to. Brego is a required action (you don't have a choice) whereas City of the Trees is an optional action (it says "you may...") and required actions always take place before optional actions.

If they both happened at the same time (say, both required actions) then the Free Peoples player gets the choice what happens in which order.

ASIDE: This is why the

cards like Desert Soldier were changed from required to optional because if they were required (like ambush) the FP player could always choose to have the removing

ability resolve before the ambush.

All but this is correct, and maybe here I'm even being semantic.

If more than one optional triggered actions occur from the same trigger, the process follow normal phase action procedure, that is starting with the FPP players take turns using their optional triggered actions until both pass consecutively.

Thran is correct -- he is referring the the required action order, not the optional action order.

Hence the semantic part of my result. The parenthetical part of his response didn't exclude optional actions, and therefore I felt I needed to clarify.
