    If you don't control four or more creatures (including Hanweir Militia Captain itself) at the moment your upkeep begins, its ability doesn't trigger. You can't wait for other effects in your upkeep to provide creatures.

  • WotCApr 8, 2016

    If you don't control four or more creatures as Hanweir Militia Captain's ability resolves, it won't transform.

  • WotCApr 8, 2016

    Once Hanweir Militia Captain has transformed into Westvale Cult Leader, controlling fewer than four creatures won't cause it to transform back.

  • WotCApr 8, 2016

    Westvale Cult Leader's first ability counts itself, so it will normally be at least 1/1.
