if you had multiple {hardened scales} would they trigger from each other's ability and would that create an infinite?
No because it's a replacement effect. They only apply once. So you go,
Imma put one +1/+1 counter on dis guy.
Then {Hardened Scales} number one goes, "nah brah make it two."
Then {Hardened Scales} number two goes,
"Bruh. xD Make it three. xD"
Then there you go, three. Replacement effects only trigger once.
No they receate a replacemet effect.
Say you have 4 scales and a creature.
You cast a spell that would give the creature a counter. Each scale triggers off of that counter it is about to get from the spell. {Hardened Scales}
Stack looks like.
Scale trigger
Scale trigger
Scale trigger
Scale trigger
Place a +1/+1 counter
As each scale trigger resolves it looks like
Scale trigger
Scale trigger
Scale trigger
Place a counter plus one additional
.Scale trigger
Scale trigger
Place a counter plus one additional plus one additional.
In the end the creature gets 5 counters.
Dang work slowing my responses. You win this one link!
Lol oh well I wanted to know indefinitely to make sure lol
Just to clear up something slightly wrong in your explanation, Red, there are no Triggers happening here. They're simply effects modifying how an event takes place. Using the word trigger could make it easier to explain, but is technically incorrect.
