Celebration is an ability word introduced in Wilds of Eldraine.[1][2] [3]

Description

Celebration abilities trigger if two or more nonland permanents entered the battlefield under your control this turn.[4]

Rulings

  • Each celebration ability has a different effect.
  • Some celebration abilities trigger at specific parts of the turn and check whether two or more nonland permanents entered the battlefield under your control already in that turn.
  • Others are static abilities that give creatures abilities or power and toughness increases as long as two or more nonland permanents entered the battlefield under your control that turn.
  • Celebration abilities only care if two or more nonland permanents entered the battlefield under your control in a turn. They won't get more powerful if more than two permanents entered the battlefield under your control in a turn.
  • The permanents that entered the battlefield don't need to remain on the battlefield or under your control. Celebration abilities are checking for past events, not the current game state.

Example

Trivia

  • In the storyline of the {R}{W} limited archetype of Wilds of Eldraine ("Celebration Aggro") , the dwarf settlement of Delverhaugh celebrated a Grand Ball that was raided midway by a horde of Redcaps and Ogres. This led to a battle between dwarf hosts, their servant mice and other attendees, such as Ash and Goddric, against the invading mob.
