If I cast Altered Ego X=1 and copy a Winding Constrictor, does the Altered Ego enter with one counter or two?
Asked by SmugLookingBarrel 7 years ago
Altered Ego can enter the battlefield as a copy of another creature and can also enter with +1/+1 counters on it. If I have it enter as a copy of Winding Constrictor, will it realize it's a Winding Constrictor soon enough to add an extra +1/+1 counter from its own ability?

Note that if you control the original Winding Constrictor, you'll still apply the effect from that one.

As often, the Gatherer rulings have the answer:
Since an Altered Ego entering the battlefield is essentially the same as a Winding Constrictor doing so, this ruling applies. You will only get a single counter (assuming X=1).
