How does Krenko, Mob Boss ability work with an ability copying effect?

Asked by mtgirem 9 years ago

For example I have Krenko, Mob Boss who is equipped by Illusionist's Bracers , and there are 5 total goblins on the field under my control.

When I add x tokens, do I simply add 5 for each copy? Or would I add 5 then 10 goblin tokens because the second copy works with the new set of tokens?

Thanks, appreciate any help.

Krenko, Mob Boss will count the number of goblins when the ability resolves.

So in this case, the first ability will resolve, making 5 additional goblins. The second ability will see 10 goblins, and make 10 more, giving you a total of 20 goblins.

Thank you very much. I was assuming it only did 5 and 5 in that example, but that makes sense since X is checked on resolve and not when cast.
