Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor
Asked by indieinside 3 weeks ago
Gix, Yawgmoth Praetor is my commander. Can I only draw one card per combat? Or, let's say I have three creatures attack... does that mean I can draw three cards... or, Let's say I deal 5 "damage" can I draw 5 cards?

As an additional example, Cold-Eyed Selkie is worded in a way so that you draw cards for the total amount of combat damage it deals.
Let's say Cold-Eyed Selkie is enchanted with a Rancor, and it connects for combat damage. If it connects with its full 3 damage, you will draw 3 cards.
Although their wordings have some similarities, their are some slight differences between "one or more" (Professional Face-Breaker, Grim Hireling, and Olivia, Opulent Outlaw), and "Whenever ~ deals combat damage to a player, X happens that many times" (Cephalid Constable, Cold-Eyed Selkie, and Needle Specter)

Let's say you attack an opponent with 3 creatures and all of them deal combat damage. You may then pay 1 life for each of those creatures that dealt combat damage and draw a card for each one.
Inversely, if your opponents deal combat damage to another of your opponents, Gix will trigger and give them the option to also pay 1 life per each creature that dealt combat damage, then draw.
If Gix was worded "Whenever one or more creatures...deals combat damage" instead, like Professional Face-Breaker, you would instead only draw 1 card for each opponent you dealt combat damage to. The way Face-Breaker is worded, you can only make 1 Treasure token per each opponent dealt combat damage, regardless of how many creatures that connect with each opponent.
