Official rulings

One official ruling applies to Biophagus.

  • If Biophagus's ability produces more than one mana, perhaps due to an effect such as that of Mana Reflection, each creature cast with that mana will enter the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter. If all of that mana is spent on the same creature, it will enter the battlefield with that many additional +1/+1 counters.
