When does Varina decide how many “that many” is?
Asked by MindAblaze 4 years ago
So let’s say I have Varina, Lich Queen
and Zur the Enchanter on the battlefield at my declare attackers step.
I declare them both and stack the triggers Varina first, then Zur so his resolves first. I tutor up an Arcane Adaptation naming zombie. How many cards do I draw/discard and how much life do I gain from Varina’s ability?

This is what I thought but I was kind of hoping that it checked again as it was resolving. But... it only cares about zombies “declared as attackers”

It determines the amount of zombies equal to the amount that were declared as attackers.
From Varina’s gatherer page:
7/13/2018 Varina’s first ability counts the number of Zombies you attacked with, even if some of those Zombies leave combat before the triggered ability resolves.
