Raffine's Silencer
Creature — Human Assassin
When this creature enters, it connives. (Draw a card, then discard a card. If you discarded a nonland card, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.)
When this creature dies, target creature an opponent controls gets -X/-X until end of turn, where X is this creature's power.
Rulings (4)
Use Raffine's Silencer's power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine the value of X.

If no card is discarded, most likely because that player's hand is empty and an effect says they can't draw cards, the conniving creature does not receive a +1/+1 counter.

Once an ability that causes a creature to connive begins to resolve, no player may take any other actions until it's done. Notably, opponents can't try to remove the conniving creature after you discard a nonland card but before it receives a counter.
