How many should I draw? How many loss of life?

Asked by darkmatter32x 8 years ago

I have Avaricious Dragon and two Blood Scrivener on the battlefield.

Step-by-step, what exactly happens during my draw phase?

Each additional Blood Scrivener you control will effectively add one card and 1 life lost. Say you control two Blood Scriveners and would draw a card while you have no cards in hand. The effect of one Blood Scrivener will replace the event "draw a card" with "draw two cards and lose 1 life." The effect of the other Blood Scrivener will replace the drawing of the first of those two cards with "draw two cards and lose 1 life." You'll draw two cards and lose 1 life, then draw another card and lose another 1 life.

Raging_Squiggle is good, but didn't fully answer the question.

You will draw three cards from your Blood Scriveners and lose two life, and draw an additional card from Avaricious Dragon.

4 cards, 2 life lost.

Worth noting that the two replacement effects from the Blood Scriveners will happen before the ability from Avaricious Dragon even triggers.

True. It wont matter often, but it will matter in fringe cases
