Mawloc

Creature — Tyranid

Illustrated by Mathias Kollros

EDHREC Rank #7,249

Ravenous (This creature enters with X +1/+1 counters on it. If X is 5 or more, draw a card when it enters.) Terror from the Deep — When this creature enters, it fights up to one target creature an opponent controls. If that creature would die this turn, exile it instead.

Rulings (5)

The creature Mawloc fights will be exiled instead of going to the graveyard if it would die on the same turn for any reason, not just because of the damage from fighting Mawloc. This is true even if Mawloc has left the battlefield by that time.

If a permanent spell with ravenous is copied, the copy will have the same value for X, and the token permanent that the spell becomes as it enters the battlefield will enter with X counters.

The triggered ability that checks to see if X is 5 or greater refers to the value of X that was chosen as the spell was cast, which may be different from the number of counters it entered with if there are replacement effects involved. This is also true for any other ability that it has which refers to X and triggers when it enters the battlefield.
