Can Mossbridge Troll's ability be used multiple times?
Asked by Ironcladkitten 12 years ago
The wording confuses me.
Can I tap two creatures to give him +20/+20 twice?

yes, but you cannot use the same creatures. Tapping the creatures is part of the cost to activate the ability. you can tell if something is a cost if it is before a colon " : " or says "as an additional cost.
as NDRue said, you can activate him N times, if you have N exclusive "groups" of creatures with combined power 10 more.

Each time you activate its ability, you would need to tap creatures you control that have a total power of 10 or greater.
You may activate it as many times as you wish, as long as each activation cost can be paid.
In your case, if you have two creatures, and each creature's power is 10 or greater, then yes, you may activate Mossbridge Troll 's ability twice, tapping one creature each time to fulfill the "power 10 or greater" condition in its cost.
However, if both of your creatures have power less than 10 each, but both add up to 10 or more, you may activate its ability only once, as you do not have any other creatures to fulfill its cost's condition.
