All Will Be One

Wizards of the Coast 4 Feb 2023

All Will Be One's ability will trigger any time you put one or more counters on a permanent or player. This might be due to a spell or ability resolving, a permanent you control entering the battlefield with counters, or combat damage from a source with toxic, infect, or wither.

Wizards of the Coast 4 Feb 2023

If more than one creature with toxic deals combat damage to a player at the same time, those counters are placed as a single event, and the ability triggers one time.

Animar, Soul of Elements

Wizards of the Coast 16 Mar 2018

To determine the total cost of a creature spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the creature remains unchanged, no matter what the total cost to cast it was.

Wizards of the Coast 16 Mar 2018

Animar's triggered ability triggers only when a creature spell is cast, after costs are paid. The counter put on Animar for a creature spell won't affect the cost of that creature spell, only future ones.

Wizards of the Coast 16 Mar 2018

Animar's triggered ability resolves before the creature spell that causes it to trigger. The ability will resolve even if that spell is countered.

Benevolent Hydra

Wizards of the Coast 2 Dec 2022

"Put on another creature you control" includes creatures other than Benevolent Hydra that enter the battlefield with +1/+1 counters on them. If another creature would enter the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it while you control Benevolent Hydra, it enters with that many counters plus one.

Wizards of the Coast 2 Dec 2022

Each additional Benevolent Hydra you control will increase the number of +1/+1 counters placed on anther creature by one.

Forgotten Ancient

Wizards of the Coast 8 Dec 2022

Forgotten Ancient's last ability doesn't target any creatures. You choose how many +1/+1 counters will be moved (and onto which creatures) as the ability resolves. Notably, once the ability starts resolving and you make these choices, no player may take actions until the ability has finished resolving.

Wizards of the Coast 8 Dec 2022

Forgotten Ancient's first ability will resolve before the spell that caused it to trigger. Putting a +1/+1 counter on Forgotten Ancient is optional.

Mulldrifter

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

If you pay the evoke cost, you can have Mulldrifter's own triggered ability resolve before the evoke triggered ability. You can cast spells after that ability resolves but before you have to sacrifice Mulldrifter.

Wizards of the Coast 19 Mar 2021

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you're paying (such as an evoke cost), add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.

Also Printed in Other Drops

Some of these cards came in other Secret Lair drops too, each with its own art.
