Forgotten Ancient

Creature — Elemental


Whenever a player casts a spell, you may put a +1/+1 counter on Forgotten Ancient.
At the beginning of your upkeep, you may move any number of +1/+1 counters from Forgotten Ancient onto other creatures.

Its blood is life. Its body is growth.

Rulings

  • 2022-12-08
    Forgotten Ancient’s first ability will resolve before the spell that caused it to trigger. Putting a +1/+1 counter on Forgotten Ancient is optional.
  • 2022-12-08
    Forgotten Ancient’s last ability doesn’t target any creatures. You choose how many +1/+1 counters will be moved (and onto which creatures) as the ability resolves. Notably, once the ability starts resolving and you make these choices, no player may take actions until the ability has finished resolving.
