Hungry Lynx

Creature — Cat

Illustrated by Shreya Shetty

EDHREC Rank #6,474

Cats you control have protection from Rats. (They can't be blocked, targeted, or dealt damage by Rats.) At the beginning of your end step, target opponent creates a 1/1 black Rat creature token with deathtouch. Whenever a Rat dies, put a +1/+1 counter on each Cat you control.

Rulings (6)

Tokens that are sacrificed or destroyed are put into their owner’s graveyard before ceasing to exist. If the token was a Rat, Hungry Lynx’s last ability will trigger.

If Hungry Lynx dies at the same time as a Rat, its ability triggers, but Hungry Lynx won't be on the battlefield as that ability resolves. It can’t be saved by the +1/+1 counter that would have been put on it. The same is true of any other Cats you control that die at the same time. Your remaining Cats will each get a +1/+1 counter.
