entering the battlefield with +1/+1 counters

Asked by YStar27 5 months ago

if i have a Conclave Mentor and a Good-Fortune Unicorn and i play a creature does it get one +1/+1 counter or two?

Good-Fortune Unicorn has a triggered ability, so the creatures aren't entering the battlefield with the counter. They are entering the battlefield and then having a counter put on when the trigger resolves. Conclave Mentor obviously adds an additional counter from this. If you instead had something that did cause your creatures to enter with counters like Bloodspore Thrinax, it still works.

First oracle ruling on Conclave Mentor-

If a creature you control would enter the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it, it enters with that many plus one instead.
