Inkshield and Peregrine Took ruling (lemmy.dormedas.com)

Does inkshield create the Inkling tokens as one event or many? The wording is "For each 1 damage prevented this way" which makes me think it would be multiple token creation events, each creating 1 inkling, and thus with an effect such as Took out, would also create that number of food. Since each single creation can be replaced with inkling+food.

The alternative wording would be something like "Whenever damage is prevented this way, create that many" which would make it one creation event in my mind, but I want to see if anyone else has input or thoughts.

For what it's worth, testing on MTGA, Brass's Bounty + Peregrin Took creates only one food token despite the wording:

For each land you control, create a Treasure token.

It's not exactly the same, but does seem to support the idea that each damage event creates that many tokens simultaneously rather than that many token-creation events.

@TehPers @Evu MTGA is pretty bad as a rules reference. That "create" is there once is the important thing.

I'm not suggesting that MTGA should be a rules reference, just that it agrees with the commenter.

I haven't found anywhere in the CR that really mentions this interaction. The closest I found was 608.2f which doesn't really apply here since it's not an action being taken on multiple players/objects, but that rule says to create the tokens simultaneously if possible (and I would think it's possible to create multiple tokens simultaneously since order here doesn't matter).

Edit: ...per prevention event, if that wasn't clear. So each time damage is prevented.
