Intermediate Chirography rulings

2026-03-20
Intermediate Chirography's level 3 ability will check as your end step starts to see if any modified creatures died under your control this turn. If none did, the ability won't trigger at all. It's not possible to cause creatures to die during your end step in time to have the ability trigger.

A creature with a counter on it is considered modified no matter what kind of counter it is or which player put it on that creature.

Intermediate Chirography's level 2 ability triggers just once for your first life-losing event on each turn, no matter how much life you lose.
