Hey guys, I had an idea for Devour where if you devour beyond a specific number of creatures an effect happens. Let me know if I have this wording right.
Viritoth, Razer of Worlds 2BBBRR
Legendary Creature - Dragon
Flying, trample
Devour 1 (As this creature enters the battlefield, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. This creature enters the battlefield with that many +1/+1 counters on it.)
When Viritoth, Razer of Worlds enters the battlefield, target player sacrifices a permanent for each creature it devoured beyond the fifth creature devoured this way.
5/5
Does it need the 'devoured this way' at the end or could it just be beyond the fifth?
Thanks in advance.
The wording can just be "...each creature it devoured beyond the fifth." There's no "this way" for the fourth ability to refer to, since the third and fourth abilities operate at different times. That is, devour operates as the creature is entering the battlefield, and the fourth ability operates when the creature has already entered the battlefield.
Another reason why "this way" isn't needed is because effects can grant creature objects devour as well. If you use "this way", there's no way to denote which devour is "this way" and which isn't.
