Infinite Combo or Different Ruling??
Deck Help forum

If I have Wild Beastmaster and Syr Faren, the Hengehammer on the field and attack with both, is it an infinite +X +X gain amongst creatures I control?
I could see ruling either way, which is why I ask. Thank you in advance.

Nope, just stack the triggers, they aren't static abilities!

A little help to avoid future confusion: Abilities that trigger "whenever X attacks/blocks" should be read "whenever X is declared s an attacker/blocker".
So, hypothetically speaking, they trigger once when the creature is declared attacker/blocker. But if you can do this multiple times in a turn, e.g. with Fury of the Horde, these trigger once on each declaration as an attacker. So Wild Beastmasterwould trigger on the first attack and keep the +X/+X until end of turn. Then, when you cast Fury of the Horde and Beastmaster attacks again, the creatures will get an additional +X/+X until end of turn.

triggered abilities only resolve once per trigger, and in this case the trigger is attacking. so unless you're taking multiple combat phases in a turn, the effects of these creatures will only resolve once.

Pretty sure it's not infinite, but you could choose the order in which the abilities trigger. So in this case you would want Syr Faren, the Hengehammer to target Wild Beastmaster to get the maximum amount of +X/+X for all your creatures.
"2019-10-04: The value of X is determined only as Syr Faren’s triggered ability resolves. Once that happens, the value of X won’t change later in the turn even if Syr Faren’s power changes."
So if they both attacked as they were, Syr Faren would grant +2 to Wild Beastmaster, then the wild Beastmaster would grant +3 to everyone.
