Bloodthirst

These crea­tures smell blood in the air, they come into play big­ger than nor­mal if dam­age was dealt to the oppo­nent that turn.

702.51. Blood­thirst

• 702.51a. Blood­thirst is a sta­tic abil­ity. “Blood­thirst N” means “If an oppo­nent was dealt dam­age this turn, this per­ma­nent comes into play with N +1/+1 coun­ters on it.”
• 702.51b. “Blood­thirst X” is a spe­cial form of blood­thirst. “Blood­thirst X” means “This per­ma­nent comes into play with X +1/+1 coun­ters on it, where X is the total dam­age your oppo­nents have been dealt this turn.”
• 702.51c. If an object has mul­ti­ple instances of blood­thirst, each applies separately.

Rules Trans­la­tion

• 702.51a. — This is an always active abil­ity check­ing if dam­age was dealt to the oppo­nent if so and the per­ma­nent comes into play then it comes into play with N +1/+1 coun­ters where N equals the num­ber fol­low­ing Bloodthirst.
• 702.51b. — Nor­mally it’s on the card as Blood­thirst [num­ber] but there is also Blood­thirst X and this means that the crea­ture comes into play with +1/+1 tokens equal to the total dam­age dealt to all oppo­nents this turn.
• 702.51c. — Blood­thirst stacks and so is applied mul­ti­ple times.
