How does the interaction between Chasm Skulker + Jace, the Mind Sculptor + Pir, Imaginative Rascal works?
Asked by taglia 4 years ago
If I have a
Chasm Skulker
+
Jace, the Mind Sculptor
+
Pir, Imaginative Rascal
in play, due to the ability of
Pir, Imaginative Rascal
, does my
Chasm Skulker
get +6/+6 every time I draw 3 cards via
Jace, the Mind Sculptor
because it's ability triggers three different times, so each time I draw a card (3, in total), or just once, getting +4/+4 instead? In fact this is a question about how many times wuold my
Chasm Skulker
activate each time I play a
Brainstorm
or activate
Jace, the Mind Sculptor
, as to know how many times does
Pir, Imaginative Rascal
's ability triggers. Thanks!
Thank you Rhadamanthus, it has been bugging me for a while...

In your example the Chasm Skulker would get a total of 6 +1/+1 counters after you draw from Jace, the Mind Sculptor
's middle ability.
An ability that triggers when someone "draws a card" will trigger separately for each individual card drawn unless it specifically says "draws one or more cards", in which case it will only trigger once no matter how many cards were drawn. Chasm Skulker's ability triggers for every card drawn, and Pir, Imaginative Rascal 's replacement effect (not a trigger, otherwise it would cause an infinite loop with itself) will be applied to each of those triggers as they resolve.
