What happens when I use Nin's ability on a Chasm Skulker?
Chasm Skulker and Nin, the Pain Artist are on my battlefield. Let's say Chasm Skulker has no counters on it.
I activate Nin's ability with X = 10 and target Chasm Skulker.
Assume no opponents react to any of these triggers.
Do all of these actions happen in this order?
- Nin's ability deals 10 damage to CS (enough to kill it but it does not die and go to the graveyard yet)
- I draw 10 cards
- I put 10 counters on CS (first ability)
- THEN CS dies, and I put 10 Squid token onto the battlefield (second ability).
The skulker's get +1/+1 counter will trigger. But the skulker will die before the ability resolves and counters are put on it. Thus you get no squid tokens.
