Yesterday, I was playing Mechrattle Hunter. Oblivitron died. I used Nine Lives, and selected Oblivitron. It put Oblivitron directly into play. I thought it was weird and that I possibly swiped too quickly.
Then, I played Zul'jin. It played Nine Lives, randomly selected Oblivitron, and put Oblivitron into play.
Well, Oblivitrons deathrattle is to put a minion into play and Nine Lives triggers the deathrattle of the selected mech so... everything works as intended?

Step 1: Nine Lives adds Oblivitron to hand and triggers Oblivitron's deathrattle. Step 2: Oblivitron plays itself and triggers its own deathrattle again. Step 3: The deathrattle in step 2 plays a welp and triggers the welp's deathrattle.

why does it trigger again the second time that doesn't make sense

There are two different Oblivitron triggers happening. One is cast from Nine Lives (pulling Oblivitron) and one is cast from Oblivitron because Nine Lives now includes the text about triggering the DR of the minion it pulls
ETA a step by step look:
Nine Live is Cast. It has 2 parts. Discover, trigger.
Part 1. It discovers an Oblivitron and puts it in hand.
Part 2. It triggers Oblivitron's DR.
Oblivitron's DR has 2 parts. Pull, trigger.
Part 1. It pulls Oblivitron from hand.
Part 2. It triggers the DR of the Oblivitron it just pulled.
Oblivitron's DR has 2 parts. Pull, trigger.
Part 1. It pulls a Whelp from hand.
Part 2. It triggers the DR of the Whelp it just pulled summoning a 7/7.
It's not even really hard to pull of either since the deck only has 4 unique drs: ursatron, spiderbomb, whelp and oblivitron. Spiderbomb you can magnetize to prevent it from getting in nine lives pool if you're sure you don't need the additional dr later and you don't need ursatron as a 3-drop, there's companion for that.

Has this happened to anyone else?
Oblivitron goes to hand, deathrattle triggers and it pulls itself.
I'm assuming the animation happens simultaneously?

sounds like it works like intended.
Take a look at the order given in the card itself.
1. Discover the minion -> adding to your hand
2. Trigger the deathrattle -->thus summoning a mech from your hand -->oblivitron goed into play
I assume you had no other mech in hand or oblivitron was chosen randomly
Yup that's what happened. Good call. THanks :)
It can be crazier even, when it pulls itself and then pulls also your whelp :D
Why does that happen though? Because it does, and he seems to be the only mech that triggers twice with 9 lives...
