Hardened Scales with Avatar of the Resolute
Asked by Pheonix11235 8 years ago
If Avatar of the Resolute comes into play and you have only one creature with a +1/+1 counter on it as well as Hardened Scales, would the Avatar only come in with one +1/+1 counter on it since you aren't putting the counter on the Avatar, but rather it comes in with it?

Also, check the Gatherer's for Hardened Scales to see a full ruling about this:
9/20/14:
"placed on creature you control" includes that creature entering the battlefield with +1/+1 counters on it. If a creature would enter with a number of +1/+1 counters while you control Hardened Scales, it enters with that many counters plus one.

Avatar of the Resolute would come in with an additional +1/+1 counter. It's the same principle as Doubling Season, whereas both the season and Hardened Scales would see the counters being placed on the Avatar of the Resolute.
