- Turn 1: Pelt Collector
- Turn 2: Thorn Lieutenant (Pelt Collector is 2/2 with a 1/1 counter on it)
- Turn 3: Merfolk Branchwalker
Is this correct?
1) Active player orders the ETB triggers how they prefer, choosing the order so that explore resolves first.
2) In this example, Active Player reveals a non-land card with explore and the Merfolk Branchwalker get a +1/+1 counter.
3) At this point, Merfolk Branchwalker is 3/2 with a +1/+1 counter.
4) Merfolk Branchwalker's 3 power triggers Pelt Collector ETB trigger -> 3/3 Pelt Collector with 2 counters
Unfortunately no. Pelt Collector has what is called an intervenining if clause (the 'if that creature's power is greater...' part) and as a result the ability will check before it triggers and before it resolves. When Merfolk Branchwalker ETB the Pelt Collector will check to see if it should trigger and see that the branchwalker is only 2 power and as a result won't trigger.
