Not sure entirely where to post this, but can anyone help me with a wording issue on MSE.
I have a mechanic Congregate N (When this creature enters the battlefield, the next N creature(s) you control to enter the battlefield this turn enter/enters) with a +1/+1 counter.)
I keep having the plural and singular words not matching with the numbers I place. For example if I put Congregate 1 then it reads (When this creature enters the battlefield, the next creature you control to enter the battlefield this turn enters with a +1/+1 counter.)
but when I have Congregate 2 it reads (When this creature enters the battlefield, the next 2 creatures you control to enter the battlefield this turn enters with a +1/+1 counter.
I don't know whether you copied the text, but its a miracle it works at all with the random closing paranthesis in there.
Here is what works for me:
When this creature enters the battlefield, the next {english_number_multiple(param1)} creature(s) you control to enter the battlefield this turn enter{if param1.value == 1 then "s"} with a +1/+1 counter.
BTW, that reminder text is quite confusing; not usually what you want in reminder text. Maybe try a different formulation altogether?

Planar Chaos was not a mistake neither was it random. You might want to look at it again.

I've had success using "enter(s)" on similar mechanics, but SI's solution is foolproof. The mechanic reads a bit awkwardly, but I don't think there's a good way to streamline wording and retain the functionality you have currently. Is there a particular reason this caps the number of creatures? It already has a timing restriction, so I struggle to see it get too out of control.

any help with the correct way to format it

Finally a good white villain quote: "So, do I ever re-evaluate my life choices? Never, because I know what I'm doing is a righteous cause."
