Rulings
Official rulings from Wizards of the Coast (2).
- 2004-10-04You can make X be larger than the amount of damage, but you only get one counter for each actual point of damage prevented.
- 2004-10-04The +1/+1 counters do show up at the same time as any unprevented damage, which means they are there before you check for lethal damage.
