Official rulings

One official ruling applies to The First Tyrannic War.

  • If the card you are putting onto the battlefield with the first chapter ability would enter the battlefield as a copy of another permanent, it will get +1/+1 counters this way only if the permanent that it is copying has a mana cost that contains {X}, regardless of the original card's mana cost.
