Mentor is a keyword ability.
Details[]
It is an ability associated with the Boros Legion guild from Ravnica. When a creature with Mentor attacks and a weaker creature attacks alongside it, the creature that has Mentor can bestow a +1/+1 counter on the weaker creature.
Comprehensive Rules[]
702.133. Mentor
- 702.133a Mentor is a triggered ability. “Mentor” means “Whenever this creature attacks, put a +1/+1 counter on target attacking creature with power less than this creature’s power.”
- 702.133b If a creature has multiple instances of mentor, each triggers separately.
Rulings[]
- Mentor compares the power of the creature with mentor with that of the target creature at two different times: once as the triggered ability is put onto the stack, and once as the triggered ability resolves. If you wish to raise a creature's power so its mentor ability can target a bigger creature, the Last Chance you have to do so is during the beginning of combat step.
- If the target creature's power is no longer less than the attacking creature's power as the ability resolves, mentor doesn't add a +1/+1 counter. For example, if two 3/3 creatures with mentor attack and both mentor triggers target the same 2/2 creature, the first to resolve puts a +1/+1 counter on it and the second does nothing.
- If the creature with mentor leaves the battlefield with mentor on the stack, use its power as that creature last existed on the battlefield to determine whether the target creature has less power.
