Endless Ranks of the Dead
Asked by Warbringer 12 years ago
Endless Ranks of the Dead is in play but you only have 1 Zombie creature on you next upkeep. Do you still get one black zombie 2/2?

Correction, I mean, you have 1, half of that is 0.5, rounded down comes to X = 0.

You are only using whole numbers. That's why it has the rounding rule to begin with, because an odd number can't be halved to a whole number. One, being an odd, number, is halved to .5, which is then rounded down to 0.

It really is a simple as "Half of 1, rounded down, is 0".
0 or 1 Zombies = 0 tokens
2 or 3 Zombies = 1 token
4 or 5 Zombies = 2 tokens
6 or 7 Zombies = 3 tokens
...and so on.

The answers that have been given thus far are correct.
Always check the Gatherer page first.

The "rounded down" means you're using whole numbers.
If Epochalyptik or any of the other "higher authorities" haven't jumped in to give their own response, that probably means the answers already given are the correct ones. You have 3 people giving you the same well-reasoned answer, and completely discounting their responses like that is a little rude.

All of the answers that answer the question are correct. Although I'm also fairly sure zombies don't use glasses.

Well, X is 1, half of that is 0.5, then rounded down, it's 0, so no. You don't get one.
