Zendikar Beastmaster Ascension rules

[Volume]

So Zendikar has this card:

Beastmaster Ascension 2G
Enchantment
Whenever a creature you control attacks, you may put a quest counter on Beastmaster Ascension.
As long as Beastmaster Ascension has seven or more quest counters on it, creatures you control get +5/+5


So kets say I attack with 5 creatures. Do I put 5 quest counters on Beastmaster Ascension (because 5 of my creatures attacked?) Or only 1 counter (because it was in a single combat turn so it counts as 1 event?)

[klicker]

I would say each creature you attack with adds a counter to the Beastmaster Ascension. So if you attack with 5 cratures, you add 5 quest counters.

Otherwise, it would mean that it takes 7 turns at least to get the effect from Beastmaster Ascension making it worthless.

[Twanos]

You would get a counter for each creature.

To only get one per turn it would have been worded...

At the end of you declare attackers step, if one or more cretures you controll attacked, put a quest counter on.....

As it currently reads thought once you delcare your attacking creatures the Whenever part of the card triggers fro each attaching creature. So 5 attackers = 5 triggers = 5 counters

ok thanks I have another question then

lets say I have four 1/1 creatures in play

I attack with all four of them and put 4 quest coutners on Beastmaster Ascension

Next turn I attack with those four again. Which of these happen:

- All my creatures are now 6/6 since when I attacked with them it instantly put 4 more counters on beastmaster acension and the effect happens instantly

- All my creatures are still 1/1 since when I attacked, the beastmaster ascension didnt have 7 counters yet. But next turn they will be 6/6

Or,

- 2 of my cretures are 1/1, and the other 2 are 6/6 since first 2 creatures bring beastmaster asension to 6 counters and 3rd one brings it to 7 counters and by the time the 4th is attacking the beastmaster assension already has 8 counters

So which is it?

[Twanos]

All of the creatures will become 6/6.

Here's how it will progress.

Combat Phase
-Beginning of Combat Step - your creatures are 1/1
-Declare Attackers Step
---You declare your 4 attackers they are 1/1
---Beastmaster triggers 4 times and each trigger will go on the stack
---You and your opponent may play spells and abilities in APNAP order.
---Eventually the stack resolves your creatures become 6/6
-Declare Blockers Step
-Combat Damage Step
-End of Combat Step

[Caterpie]

if a creature has double strike can i put 2 quest counters on beastmaster ascension when it attacks?

[seba1983]

no. even though it deal damage in both the firststrike step and the normal damage step it is still only one attacking creature.
