card combo broken
I just witnessed a card combo that malfunctioned. Sazh's Chocobo gets a +1/+1 counter every time you play a land. Ordeal of Nylea gives the creature +1/+1 whenever it attacks and is sacrificed when the creature has 3 or more +1/+1 counters on it. The chocobo had 7 counters and the Ordeal of Nylea stayed in play. It didn't go away until the chocobo had 9 counters on it. It doesn't say the counters have to be from Ordeal of Nylea. It just says 3 counters. Please fix.

@Rezzahan#77802 Dude what are you talking about?! You need to re-read the original post because you are clearly lost. Nobody is questioning how the card works. We all know exactly how the card works. Sacrifice is part of the ability/trigger. WE KNOW THAT! What we are saying is that it is not working correctly. How are you not understanding this?
The OP said that the creature attacked (with Nylea attached to it) while having a total of 7 counters on it, Nylea triggered from the attack, adding an 8th counter, but then never sacrificed itself (during resolution) as it should. And because it didn’t sacrifice itself, the secondary ability of searching for 2 lands never occurred either. The ability triggered AND resolved, but Nylea didn’t sacrifice itself in the process. Get it? That is 100% a bug.
Then on the next turn the creature attacked again, Nylea triggered again and added a 9th counter, and then finally this time resolved correctly by sacrificing itself, which then allowed the search for 2 lands. Nylea didn’t work correctly on the first attack, but it did on the second attack. Very obviously a bug. We can all see it. Not sure why you can’t.
Same exact thing happened to TheMonkeyKing#95462.
When this bug happened to me, it happened a little bit differently. I attacked with a creature that had 8 counters on it, Nylea triggered and gave the additional +1/+1 counter and then sacrificed itself as intended. But the secondary ability never triggered and so I never got to search for my 2 extra lands.
It’s blatantly obvious that there are bug issues with this card. Would be nice to see somebody from Wizards actually respond. We can all talk about it as much as we want, but we can’t actually fix it. Only they can. I wish they would do it already.

Hi,
i had the same bug. A little bit different. I had two Ordeals on one attacking creatur. One did resolve and got sacrificed. The other one did not. It stayed attached. In the next round when i attacked again the second Ordeal resolved.
Kind Regards

@Rezzahan#77802 Your comment doesn’t make any sense. Look at the picture. The chocobo was attacking. Based on what the OP was saying, this is the second time it attacked with the Ordeal of Nylea enchantment aura on it - meaning it should have sacrificed itself and triggered the lands last turn, when the chocobo had seven counters on it. It didn’t. Clearly a bug.
I’ve seen this bug happen as well and in different ways. Most recently I cast Nylea on my Mossborn Hydra, which had eight counters on it at the time. I then attacked with the Hydra. I got the extra +1/+1 counter from Nylea and then it sacrificed itself, as it should. But the “search your library for 2 lands” effect never triggered. I got no lands. I was relying on that trigger to win the game. Instead I ended up losing on the next turn. So this bug directly led to me losing instead of winning. This needs to be investigated and fixed by Wizards ASAP!
Not sure if the Hollowmurk Siege that I had on the battlefield was also somehow involved in the bug, but either way, Wizards need to figure this junk out.

The sacrifice of Ordeal of Nylea is part of its trigger's resolution. So until such a trigger resolves, it does not get sacrificed, regardless of how many counters are on the enchented creature. Meaning, the Chocobo had to attack for the trigger, and thus the sacrifce, to occur.
