I tried googling for this but never really found a concrete answer, or one that didn’t involve lots of numbers with another combo piece like Parallel Lives where the numbers got confusing lol. So I’m building a Krenko, Mob Boss goblin tribal deck, and will be having Illusionist's Bracers in there, but I want to clarify how many goblins I’ll get using them both.
So say I have 5 goblins including Krenko, Mob Boss with Illusionist's Bracers, I tap Krenko to make 5 more tokens, do the bracers activate at the same time and only make 5 goblins? Or do they activate after the new goblins have entered, and so can then target all 10 to create another 10 for a total of 20?
This may seem like a silly question, but I wanted to be clear before I played it.
The activated ability checks how many Goblins you control upon resolution. This means the copy of the ability, resolving first, will create five tokens, and then the original will create ten.
So if I have helm of the host on krenko and illusionist's bracers and lets say I have a total of 50 goblins including tokens on the battle field. If I tap krenko (original) to get 100 and then illusionist's gives me a total of 200 can I pay the 3 mana and transfer illusionists bracers to one of the copies of krenko and keep repeating this as long as I have mana?
When asking questions on this forum, it is better to make a new thread rather than post in an old thread from nearly over a year ago.
I believe you understand the interaction rather well.
But let's go over it one more time. You have Krenko, Mob Boss equipped with Illusionist's Bracers and Helm of the Host (that has generated at least one token copy of Krenko). And control a total of 50 Goblins, including Krenko.
You tap Krenko to activate his ability. Illusionist's Bracers copies the ability.
The copied ability resolves, creating 50 Goblin tokens. Giving you a total of 100 Goblins.
The original ability resolves, creating a further 100 Goblin tokens. So you now have 200 Goblins on the battlefield.
You can then equip the Illusionist's Bracers onto one of your token copies and repeat the process as long as you can pay the three mana for the equip cost.
