    Slumbering Dragon's second ability counts all +1/+1 counters on it, not just the ones added by its third ability.

  • WotCJul 1, 2012

    Slumbering Dragon's third ability will trigger once for each creature that attacks you or a planeswalker you control.

  • WotCJul 1, 2012

    The +1/+1 counter is put on Slumbering Dragon before blockers are declared. This may allow Slumbering Dragon to "wake up" and block the creature that attacked and caused its ability to trigger.
