Tivash, Gloom Summoner ability

Asked by NTakamura 2 years ago

I am building a edh deck with Tivash, Gloom Summoner and wanted some clarification on the ability. It states that at the beginning of your end step you may life to make a demon token. Is his ability to create demon an activated or triggered ability?

Polaris says... Accepted answer #1

It's a triggered ability. An activated ability will be written "cost: effect."

• {X}{R}, {T}: this creature deals X damage to target creature.
• Sacrifice a creature: you gain 1 life and scry 1.

A triggered ability specifies a time (when, whenever, at) and/or set of circumstances.

• Whenever you gain life
• When you sacrifice this permanent
• At the beginning of your end step

Etc.
