Whenever you put one or more counters on a creature you don't control, draw a card.

Rulings

7 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

  • 2018-06-08

    Generous Patron's last ability triggers even if the counters you put on another player's creatures aren't +1/+1 counters.

  • 2018-06-08

    If a creature enters the battlefield with counters under another player's control, that player is the player who puts those counters on it, even if you control the spell or ability putting that creature onto the battlefield.

  • 2018-06-08

    You can't put more than one +1/+1 counter on any one target using the support action.

  • 2018-06-08

    If you put one or more counters on multiple creatures you don't control at the same time, such as by supporting two different creatures you don't control, Generous Patron's last ability triggers for each of those creatures.

  • 2018-06-08

    If some, but not all, targets for a spell become illegal, the remaining targets are affected as appropriate. If all of a spell's targets become illegal, that spell doesn't resolve.

  • 2018-06-08

    Support can target a creature another player controls.

  • 2018-06-08

    If a spell with support has other abilities that target creatures, those abilities and the support ability can target the same creature.

3 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Generous Patron — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
