Marneus Calgar

Asked by proterran98 10 months ago

I have Marneus Calgar in play. I cast Zephyrim and squad twice. Do I draw 1 or 2 from marneus?

I attack with with 3 zephyrim that are each Launch the Fleet. Do I draw 1 or 3 from Marneus?

Squad is a single ability that creates tokens equal to the number of times the Squad cost was paid. Since Marneus Calgar says "one or more" he counts a single effect creating multiple tokens as a single event and will draw you one card.

Launch the Fleet gives a triggered ability to each of its targets. This means when you attack you will have 3 separate triggers each making 1 token. Since these are different effects creating the tokens you will get a trigger off of each.

In actuality when you attack with the 3 Zephyrim, you will actually make a token, then draw a card, then make a token, then draw a card, then make a token, then draw a card. There are different triggers that this would matter on like Cathars' Crusade so it is good to know, but it is unlikely to matter for the draw triggers in most cases.
