Rulings

Nov 10, 2020

Because Stumpsquall Hydra’s ability doesn’t target, you choose how to distribute X +1/+1 counters as its ability resolves. Players can’t take actions between the time you decide this distribution and the time counters are put on the appropriate permanents.

Nov 10, 2020

You can’t put +1/+1 counters on commanders that aren’t on the battlefield.

Nov 10, 2020

You may put +1/+1 counters on commanders that aren’t currently creatures (such as Tevesh Szat, Doom of Fools).

Nov 10, 2020

If Stumpsquall Hydra leaves the battlefield before its triggered ability resolves, you can still distribute the counters among any number of commanders, including none of them.
