does the foundry street denizen trigger supply to other copies on the field?

Asked by gottliebk12 9 years ago

So if I had two Foundry Street Denizen cards on the field at once and then cast an akroan crusader, would fsd #1 get +1/0 from itself and from fsd #2 since the card says "when another red creature enters... fsd gets +1/+0 until end of turn?

The same question could be asked about if two Akroan Crusader cards are on the field and one is targeted with Titan's Strength. How many tokens span, one or two?

TheHroth says... Accepted answer #1

If you have 2 Foundry Street Denizen in play, and cast an Akroan Crusader, then both of their abilities will trigger once when he enters the battlefield, resulting in them each becoming 2/1's until the end of the turn. Their abilities only affect themselves.

If you have 2 Akroan Crusaders in play, and target one of them with Titan's Strength, only the heroic ability of the one you target will trigger, not both. This is because the ability only cares about that specific Akroan Crusader card, and not any other Akroan Crusader cards that may be in play (same thing as the first part, where their abilities only affect themselves).

When a card refers to itself by name it means "this object". So if Sakashima the Impostor copies Foundry Street Denizen she will get +1/+0 when a red creature enters even though she isn't named "Foundry Street Denizen".

For cards that care about the name of a card it will say "cards named" such as Demigod of Revenge, or Korlash, Heir to Blackblade.

So TheHroth, just to be clear, that also allows to Dragon Mantle? If one is in play and another enters, do both draw a card triggers fire, or just the one on the entering copy of Dragon Mantle?

Again, the text on the card is only referring to that specific physical card. Both Dragon Mantle's are entirely different objects, and each draw a single card when they enter the battlefield.
