Multiple instances of Bloodthirst?

Asked by Seraphicate 10 years ago

Say, if I had a Bloodlord of Vaasgoth out, it gives all my vampires bloodthirst 3 when I cast. If I had dealt damage this turn, and summoned another vampire already with bloodthirst such as Vampire Outcasts or another bloodlord, do they get 3 additional counters, or does it stay at 3?

Answers to questions about specific cards can very often be found on the Gatherer. For example, if you look at the page about Bloodlord of Vaasgoth (http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=220306), you will find this ruling there:

Multiple instances of bloodthirst are cumulative. For example, if you control Bloodlord of Vaasgoth and cast a Vampire creature spell that already has bloodthirst 1, that Vampire will enter the battlefield with four +1/+1 counters on it if an opponent has been dealt damage that turn.

702.53c If an object has multiple instances of bloodthirst, each applies separately.

They'll get 2 from its own bloodthirst, and 3 more from the Bloodlord.
