Steelburr Champion
Creature — Mouse Soldier
Oracle Text
Offspring {1}{W} (You may pay an additional {1}{W} as you cast this spell. If you do, when this creature enters, create a 1/1 token copy of it.)
Vigilance
Whenever an opponent casts a noncreature spell, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.
Watch Out
This triggers when the spell is cast, before it resolves. Even if the spell is countered, the cast trigger still resolves. Copies of spells are not cast, so they won't trigger this.
This card uses a replacement effect ('as [it] enters' or 'enters with') to modify how the permanent enters. This is NOT a triggered ability — it can't be responded to, and effects like Panharmonicon or Torpor Orb don't affect it.
Copies don't copy counters, equipment, auras, or other external modifications. A copy of a transformed card copies only the front face. If the copy enters the battlefield, it triggers its own ETB abilities.
