Prices are the latest nightly market price; a printing with no tracked price shows a dash. Dealer buylist is Card Kingdom's current offer via MTGJSON, shown where one exists.
Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 21 versions.
Official Judge Precedents
3 PrecedentsEach additional Hardened Scales you control will increase the number of +1/+1 counters placed on a creature you control by one.
If a creature you control would enter the battlefield with a number of +1/+1 counters on it, it enters with that many plus one instead.
If two or more effects attempt to modify how many counters would be put on a creature you control, you choose the order to apply those effects, no matter who controls the sources of those effects.
