Goldnight Commander + Thatcher Revolt
Asked by onthestack 12 years ago
My opponent has a Goldnight Commander and plays Thatcher Revolt . Because those 1/1 red humans entered the battlefield with Goldnight Commander 's triggered ability on the stack, do two of the three tokens enter with +1/+1 counters until the end of turn?
One human token would have no counters, the second human token would have one counter, and the third human token with two counters, also including Goldnight Commander 's counters.

They would all come in as 4/4s and the rest of your creatures would get +3/+3 until end of turn. This is more or less the basis of my current Standard deck.

The tokens from Thatcher Revolt are all put onto the battlefield at the same time. Since three creatures entered the battlefield, Goldnight Commander 's ability will trigger 3 times, and each token will get the full bonus when those triggered abilities resolve.
A +/+ or -/- effect only uses counters if it specifically says so in its text. Goldnight Commander doesn't hand out counters (which is important for the purposes of Undying, etc.).

If the Commander added counters it'd be a rare, maybe even a mythic.

There is card:Cathars' Crusade which does basically the same thing and does add counters.

First off they don't get +1/+1 counters, they just get +1/+1 until end of turn.
Also, I believe they all enter the battlefield at the same time, so that would trigger Goldnight Commander 's ability three times, giving all creatures +3/+3 until end of turn ( including all three tokens )
