Eidolon of Blossoms draw a card?

Asked by labanog 11 years ago

Hi with the wording does it mean when I Play the card I get to draw a card? since it say when it enters the battlefield? or do i need to have Eidolon of Blossoms already in play?

It's ability will be triggered when it enters the battlefield. Constellation just means if another enchantment comes out it's triggered ability will happen again. So, yes, you get to draw a card when you play the Eidolon.

You get to draw a card when Eidolon of Blossoms (or any other enchantment) enters the battlefield under your control. So yes, the Eidolon will trigger for itself.

Contrary to billpasdmf's last sentence, you do not draw a card when you play ("cast") the Eidolon, but when it enters the battlefield. If the Eidolon gets countered, for example, you don't draw a card.

Drilnoth I was summarizing the answer in labanog's terms. I did explicitly say that it triggers when entering the battlefield. Yes, it is important to know the difference, as spells can be cast and not resolve. And yes, casting Eidolon of Blossoms in and of itself will not trigger the ability and I was not suggesting otherwise.
