Official card text
When this creature enters, addfor each creature in your party. (Your party consists of up to one each of Cleric, Rogue, Warrior, and Wizard.)
How it works : Ardent Electromancer
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Ardent Electromancer’s ability uses the stack and players may respond to it. It isn’t a mana ability because the event that causes it to trigger isn’t a mana ability.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
To determine “the number of creatures in your party,” check whether you control a Cleric, whether you control a Rogue, whether you control a Warrior, and whether you control a Wizard. The number is the total number of those checks to which you answered yes. Each creature you control can be counted for only one of those checks.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If a creature has more than one party creature type, and there are multiple ways to count that creature that could result in a different number of creatures in your party, the highest such number is used. For example, if you control a Cleric and a Cleric Wizard, the number of creatures in your party is two. You can’t choose to have it be just one by counting the Cleric Wizard first as a Cleric.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
An ability referring to the number of creatures in your party gets a number from zero to four. Such abilities never ask which creatures are in your party, and you never have to designate specific creatures as being in your party. You can’t choose to exclude creatures from this count to lower the number.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #5· Wizards of the Coast
If an ability of a creature counts the number of creatures in your party, that number is counted as the ability resolves. If that creature is still on the battlefield when the ability resolves, it’ll be counted if appropriate.
No other card is named in this ruling.
