Buzzard-Wasp Colony
{3}{B}
Creature — Bird Insect
Oracle Text
Flying
When this creature enters, you may sacrifice an artifact or creature. If you do, draw a card.
Whenever another creature you control dies, if it had counters on it, put its counters on this creature.
Watch Out
ETB trigger, not a cast triggerRules Note
This card's ability triggers when it enters the battlefield, not when it's cast. Effects that double ETB triggers (like Panharmonicon) work here. Countering the spell prevents the creature from entering, so the ETB won't fire.
Exile prevents dies triggersRules Note
'Dies' means 'put into a graveyard from the battlefield.' If a creature is exiled instead of dying (Swords to Plowshares, Rest in Peace), dies triggers won't fire. Tokens do trigger 'dies' abilities briefly before ceasing to exist.
