Temper Rulings

  • Oct 4, 2004

    The +1/+1 counters do show up at the same time as any unprevented damage, which means they are there before you check for lethal damage.

  • Oct 4, 2004

    You can make X be larger than the amount of damage, but you only get one counter for each actual point of damage prevented.
