What are the interactions of sunburst abilities for Commander tax and colored creatures
Asked by DeathBySprnkles 2 days ago
I am thinking of adding Lux Artillery to my artifact deck and to make sure of some interactions. For both scenarios, we’ll say I have one of each colored mana and Lux Artillery.

Say I play Urtet, Remnant of Memnarch as my Commander and I would be casting him for the second time in the game. Does he enter with 3 +1/+1 counters or would it be 5 +1/+1 counters if the commander tax is taken accounted for?

If I cast Knighted Myr, does the white mana that needs to be used work in conjunction with the sunburst effect? Would it have 2 or 3 +1/+1 counters when it enters?

702.44b Sunburst adds counters only if the object with sunburst is entering the battlefield from the stack as a resolving spell and only if one or more colored mana was spent on its costs, including additional or alternative costs.
sunburst counts all colors used to cast a spell, not just the colored mana used to pay generic costs.
5 counters.
3 counters.
