Was watching some Modern Cube, and wondering about sagas and Vampire Hexmage. If I remove all counters from my saga (for example, The Eldest Reborn) while chapter 3 is on the stack, does it still resolve as chapter 3? And then next turn would I add a counter and trigger chapter 1 again? Thanks!
The number of lore counters on a Saga doesn't matter once a chapter trigger is on the stack. That trigger will resolve as normal based on the number of lore counters that were on the Saga when it triggered.Removing the counters from the Saga while the chapter III trigger is on the stack will keep the Saga from being put into its owner's graveyard when the chapter III trigger finishes resolving. At the beginning of your next precombat main phase, you'll add the first lore counter to that Saga again and thus trigger its chapter I ability.
