Savior of Ollenbock 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
Training (Whenever this creature attacks with another creature with greater power, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature.) Whenever this creature trains, exile up to one other target creature from the battlefield or creature card from a graveyard. When this creature leaves the battlefield, put the exiled cards onto the battlefield under their owners' control.
How it works : Savior of Ollenbock
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
A creature “trains” when a +1/+1 counter is put onto it at as a result of its training ability resolving.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
A creature's training ability triggers only when both that creature and a creature with greater power are declared as attackers. Increasing a creature's power after attackers are declared won't cause a training ability to trigger.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Once a creature's training ability has triggered, destroying the other attacking creature or reducing its power won't stop the creature with training from getting a +1/+1 counter.
No other card is named in this ruling.
