Sporogenesis Rules Text & Legality

Sporogenesis

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a fungus counter on target nontoken creature.

Whenever a creature with a fungus counter on it dies, create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token for each fungus counter on that creature.

When this enchantment leaves the battlefield, remove all fungus counters from all creatures.

Sporogenesis is legal in Legacy and Commander, and not legal in Standard, Pioneer, Modern and Pauper.

Sporogenesis Rulings

  • Oct 4, 2004

    Adding a counter is optional. If you forget to add one during your upkeep, you cannot back up and add one later.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    If a non-creature with fungus counters on it leaves the battlefield, there is no effect.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    If more than one Sporogenesis is on the battlefield and a creature with fungus counters on it leaves the battlefield, each Sporogenesis will put a Saproling onto the battlefield for each counter. In other words if there are N copies of Sporogenesis and the creature had M fungus counters, you get N * M Saprolings.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    If one Sporogenesis leaves the battlefield, all fungus counters are removed even if other Sporogenesis cards are on the battlefield.
