Official rulings
Three official rulings apply to Armored Ascension, newest first.
- The ability cares about lands with the land type Plains, not necessarily lands named Plains.
- This ability counts the number of Plains controlled by Armored Ascension’s controller, not the enchanted creature’s controller (in case they’re different players).
- This bonus is not fixed; it changes as the number of Plains you control changes.
