    When this Case enters, choose target creature you don't control. Each creature you control deals 1 damage to that creature. To solve — Three or more creatures attacked this turn. (If unsolved, solve at the beginning of your end step.) Solved — Creatures you control get +1/+0.

    "To solve" abilities will check for their condition twice: once when the ability would trigger, and once when it resolves. If the condition isn't true at the beginning of your end step, the ability won't trigger at all. If the condition isn't true when the ability resolves, the Case won't become solved.

    "To Solve — [condition]" means "At the beginning of your end step, if [condition] and this Case is not solved, it becomes solved."

    "Solved — [Triggered ability]" means "[Triggered ability]. This ability triggers only if this Case is solved." Triggered abilities use the word "when," "whenever," or "at." They're often written as "[Trigger condition], [effect]."
