Official rulings

Two official rulings apply to Thief of Blood, newest first.

  • If more than one Thief of Blood enters the battlefield at the same time, you can apply the replacement effect of any of them. That one will enter with additional +1/+1 counters due to its own ability and the others will not.
  • Experience counters aren't removed from players this way, but loyalty counters are removed from planeswalkers.
