Kate Stewart 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.
01
Official card text
Whenever you put one or more time counters on a permanent you control, create a 1/1 white Soldier creature token. Whenever Kate Stewart attacks, you may pay. If you do, attacking creatures get +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of time counters among permanents you control.
