Purphoros, God of the Forge and tokens.

Asked by belugawhaleonthefloor 9 years ago

What happens if multiple tokens enter the battlefield at the same time? For example, i cast Hordeling Outburst, would Purphoros, God of the Forge deal 2 since they entered at the same time, of 6 since theres 3 goblins??

'Whenever another creature enters the battlefield' means just that. There are three creatures, so he deals two damage for each. If you cast White Sun's Zenith and make something insane like 20 cats, he'll deal 40 damage to each opponent.

Because the trigger condition for the ability is "another creature enters the battlefield" it will trigger once for each creature that enters the battlefield. If it said something weird like "whenever a spell or ability causes creatures to enter the battlefield" (Note: I don't think they would ever template a card that way) it would look at each event of creatures entering and only trigger the one time from that one spell.
