Official rulings
Two official rulings apply to Aatchik, Emerald Radian, newest first.
- If a card in your graveyard is an artifact creature card, count it only once when determining how many Insect tokens to create for Aatchik’s first ability.
- If Aatchik is dealt lethal damage at the same time as another Insect you control, Aatchik’s last ability will still trigger, causing each opponent to lose 1 life, but Aatchik won’t get a +1/+1 counter in time to save it.
