interaction question
Asked by Goober12 3 months ago
I HAVE A QUESTION ON INTERACTIONS WITH CARDS ON MY BATTLEFIELD. I HAD Branching Evolution , Tribute to the World Tree , Hardened Scales OUT FOR MY ENCHANTMENTS. I HAD A 12/12 CREATURE ON THE BOARD. I PLAYED Windswift Slice USING MY 12/12 CREATURE AS MY TARGET CREATURE AND I USED THE SPELL ON OPPONENTS 6/6 CREATURE. MY QUESTION IS HOW WOULD ALL THAT INTERACT WHEN THE TOKEN CREATURES COME OUT INTO PLAY?
Ok cool thank you for the input i did play it right...i just thought the tribute of the world tree draw affect might kick in there somewhere but i guess not

In the future, please use the Rules Q&A section of the site if you have questions about rules, cards, or card interactions. That part of the site has some additional functionality, such as the ability to mark an answer to indicate your question was resolved. I have gone ahead and moved the thread for you.
Additionally, please be sure to turn the caps lock key off when you post.
Here is how this plays out:
You put Windswift Slice on the Stack. There are no responses so the card resolves.
When the spell resolves, your 12/12 deals 12 damage to the 6/6. The excess damage in this hypothetical is 6. You create six 1/1 green Elf Warrior creatures.
The Elf Warrior creatures enter the battlefield as 1/1s. This triggers Tribute to the World Tree and the triggered ability goes on the stack.
No one responds to Tribute. It resolves. The creatures are 1/1s, so each creature would normally get two +1/+1 counters. They are not big enough for the draw a card portion of Tribute (even though they will be after the ability resolves).
However, you have two replacement effects which modify how +1/+1 counters are put on the creature. Since you control both effects, you get to determine the order the replacement effects are applied. You will want to apply Hardened Scales first, as that changes the two +1/+1 counters to three. Then you apply Branching Evolution second to double those counters. That gives you a total of six +1/+1 counters. (If you do it the other way, with Branching Evolution second, you will double 2 to 4, then add 1, ending up with only 5 counters).
