Arcbound Condor
{2}{B}{B}
Artifact Creature — Bird
Oracle Text
Flying
Modular 3 (This creature enters with three +1/+1 counters on it. When it dies, you may put its +1/+1 counters on target artifact creature.)
Whenever another artifact you control enters, target creature an opponent controls gets -1/-1 until end of turn.
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.
