Hello, I have a quick question about the resolution of static abilities.
If I have a Forgotten Ancient with no counters on it and my opponent casts a Shock. It is my understanding the Forgotten Ancient's ability goes on the stack above Shock, so it resolves first. But what would happen if, in response this ability triggering, my opponent casts another Shock. Would there be a second copy of the Ancient Forgotten's static ability?
Is this the correct way to resolve this situation=
1- +1+1 counter
2- Shock
3- +1+1 counter
4- Shock
You have it correct, though your terminology is off. The ability you are talking about is not a Static Ability. Static Abilities do not use the stack and don't "resolve". They just have their effect. An example of this is that of Wight of Precinct Six or Flying.
Ancient has a Triggered ability and it triggers whenever the condition is met. In this case, they cast two spells so it triggers twice. In your case, the Ancient will end up with 2 counters on it (making its toughness 5) and having 4 damage marked on it.
