 {Sin Collector}
Does opponent get to counter before ability or after?

[Oldschoolmtgnoob]

Countering prevents it from resolving and entering the battlefield, so the ability will not trigger. If it was worded, "when cast..." Then the ability would trigger

What about {Ranger of Eos}

What about {Ranger of Eos}

same exact thing. {ranger of eos} has an "enter the battlefield" trigger that will only trigger when it resolves and enters the battlefield, barring a {torpor orb}. a card like {genesis hydra}'s ability or cascade from a {bloodbraid elf} will resolve regardless if the spell is countered or not.
