Blitzing Riveteers Requisitioner does not correctly increase counters on Brass's Tunnel Grinder
Blitzing Riveteers Requisitioner activates Brass's Tunnel Grinder's descend, but despite being activated, no additional counters are placed on Brass's Tunnel Grinder.

This also happened with me. It stopped at 2 counters and never transformed.

That's because both the blitz sacrifice and the Tunnel-Grinder's descended are end of turn triggers. But the Tunnel-Grinder's trigger also has an intervening-if clause. That means, the trigger condition is extended by an if-clause to include the descended condition, and must be true at the time the trigger would go off. If the condition is not met at the time the ability would trigger, it doesn't trigger. Because the trigger condition is not fulfilled. That the if-clause would be fulfilled like very soon, doesn't matter. It's not fulfilled when the end step begins, so no trigger.
