Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2022-06-10
Ambitious Dragonborn is not yet on the battlefield when its effect looks for the creature or creature card with the greatest power, so any creatures that have a bonus to their power based on the number of creatures on the battlefield won't count it until after it enters with counters.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
