When this creature enters, you may pay {2}{B} any number of times. When you pay this cost one or more times, put that many +1/+1 counters on this creature, then create twice that many 2/2 black Zombie creature tokens with decayed. (A creature with decayed can't block. When it attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat.)
rulings
- 2021-09-24After you pay the {2}{B} cost one or more times, a second ability triggers. Players may respond to the new ability at that point. As that ability resolves, Tainted Adversary gets its counters and the tokens are created.
- 2021-09-24Decayed represents a static ability and a triggered ability. "Decayed" means "This creature can't block" and "When this creature attacks, sacrifice it at end of combat."
- 2021-09-24Once a creature with decayed attacks, it will be sacrificed at end of combat, even if it no longer has decayed at that time.
- 2021-09-24Decayed does not create any attacking requirements. You may choose not to attack with a creature that has decayed.
- 2021-09-24Decayed does not grant haste. Creatures with decayed that enter the battlefield during your turn may not attack until your next turn.
