Inner-Flame Igniter is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
: Creatures you control get +1/+0 until end of turn. If this is the third time this ability has resolved this turn, creatures you control gain first strike until end of turn.
How it works : Inner-Flame Igniter
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Counts resolutions, not activations. Any such abilities that are still on the stack won’t count toward the total.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
When the ability resolves, it counts the number of times that same ability from that this creature has already resolved that turn. It doesn’t matter who controlled the creature or the previous abilities when they resolved. A copy of this ability (created by Rings of Brighthearth, for example) will count toward the total. Abilities from other creatures with the same name don’t count towards the total. Neither does an ability that’s been countered.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
You get the bonus only the third time the ability resolves. You won’t get the bonus the fourth, fifth, sixth, or any subsequent times.
No other card is named in this ruling.
