Tetravus
    Color= Artifact Type= Artifact Creature - Construct Cost= 6 AQ(U1)/4(R)
    Text (4th+errata): 1/1, Flying. ; ~this~ enters the battlefield with three +1/+1 counters on it. ; At the beginning of your upkeep, you may remove any number of +1/+1 counters from ~this~. If you do, put that many 1/1 colorless Tetravite artifact creature tokens onto the battlefield. They each have flying and "This creature can't be enchanted." ; At the beginning of your upkeep, you may exile any number of tokens put onto the battlefield with ~this~. If you do, put that many +1/+1 counters on ~this~. [Oracle 2009/07/08]
  • You choose the order in which the two triggered abilities are put on the stack. So it's possible to order them so you can create Tetravite tokens then immediately convert them back into +1/+1 counters, or vice versa. [D'Angelo 2008/07/12]
  • A token creature gets summoning sickness (see Rule 302.6), so it cannot attack on the turn it enters play. [D'Angelo 1998/02/03]
  • If the Tetravus is destroyed when the Tetravites are off the card, they are not destroyed, they are just orphaned. [bethmo 1994/06/01]
  • Any +1/+1 counter which is on this card can be turned into a Tetravite token. It does not care where the +1/+1 counter came from. [WotC Rules Team 1998/03/01]
  • Only Tetravites from this specific Tetravus may be removed for the ability. Ones from a different Tetravus can't. [D'Angelo 2001/08/31]
  • A Clone of Tetravus does get the counters since this is done as it comes into play. A Vesuvan Doppelganger only gets tokens if it copies the Tetravus at the time it is played and not as a later doppel effect. [WotC Rules Team 1994/07/27]
  • Extended tournaments (see Rule 913) have banned this card since 1999/10/01.
  • Note - Also see Token Creatures, Rule 110.5.
  • Note - This card had no creature type until Oracle 2007/10/01, when it became "Construct".
