Agate Instigator Rulings
5 most recent
- Jul 26, 2024 Any "enters" abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters. Any "as [this creature] enters" or "[this creature] enters with" abilities of the copied creature will also work.
- Jul 26, 2024 If the spell is countered, the offspring ability will not trigger, and no token will be created.
- Jul 26, 2024 If the spell resolves but the creature with offspring leaves the battlefield before the offspring ability resolves, you'll still create a token copy of it.
- Jul 26, 2024 In the rare case where the creature doesn't have the offspring ability when it enters, the ability won't trigger even if you paid the offspring cost.
- Jul 26, 2024 In the rare case where the original creature is copying something else when the offspring ability resolves, the token enters as whatever that creature copied, except it's a 1/1.
