Sporogenesis (Urza's Saga #273)

Sporogenesis {3}{G}

Enchantment

At the beginning of your upkeep, you may put a fungus counter on target nontoken creature.

Whenever a creature with a fungus counter on it dies, create a 1/1 green Saproling creature token for each fungus counter on that creature.

When Sporogenesis leaves the battlefield, remove all fungus counters from all creatures.

Notes and Rules Information for Sporogenesis:
  • Only the English version of a Magic card receives Oracle updates and errata. View this card in English. (Scryfall note)
  • If a non-creature with fungus counters on it leaves the battlefield, there is no effect. (2004-10-04)
  • If more than one Sporogenesis is on the battlefield and a creature with fungus counters on it leaves the battlefield, each Sporogenesis will put a Saproling onto the battlefield for each counter. In other words if there are N copies of Sporogenesis and the creature had M fungus counters, you get N * M Saprolings. (2004-10-04)
  • If one Sporogenesis leaves the battlefield, all fungus counters are removed even if other Sporogenesis cards are on the battlefield. (2004-10-04)
  • Adding a counter is optional. If you forget to add one during your upkeep, you cannot back up and add one later. (2004-10-04)
