Does a Terrain get destroyed by Snow Has Teeth before it resolves? Or does the fact that putting a Terrain into play via its own text, as the last effect of the action, mean it resolves before the destruction can happen.
Basically, will the Lion player draw a card from his stronghold's trait?

The card draw from The Marshalling Fields is purely dependent on the Terrain entering play; it does not matter if the Terrain is destroyed immediately after it enters play, such as by The Snow Has Teeth's delayed effect.
However, in the case of Thick Marsh vs The Snow Has Teeth, the trait on Thick Marsh will not trigger if it is out of play; the active player decides whether The Snow Has Teeth's delayed effect or Thick Marsh's triggered trait will trigger first.
