: Lege eine Musik-Marke auf eine Kreatur Deiner Wahl. Der Beherrscher dieser Kreatur muß während seiner Versorgungsphase für jede Musik-Marke, die auf einer Kreatur liegt, 1 bezahlen oder die Kreatur zerstören.

Rulings:

• 10/1/2008 Paying cumulative upkeep is always optional. If it’s not paid, the permanent with cumulative upkeep is sacrificed. Partial payments of the total cumulative upkeep cost can’t be made. For example, if a permanent with “cumulative upkeep <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&amp;name=1&amp;type=symbol" alt="1" align="absbottom" />” has three age counters on it when its cumulative upkeep ability triggers, it gets another age counter and then its controller chooses to either pay <img src="/Handlers/Image.ashx?size=small&amp;name=4&amp;type=symbol" alt="4" align="absbottom" /> or sacrifice the permanent.
• 10/1/2008 This ability has no duration. An affected creature will retain the triggered ability until the game ends, it leaves the battlefield, or some other effect causes it to lose its abilities. It doesn’t matter if Musician is still on the battlefield or not.
• 10/1/2008 Although a creature can gain the triggered ability only once, it can be targeted by multiple Musicians to increase its number of music counters.
• 10/1/2008 If a music counter is put on a creature by some other means (Fate Transfer, for example), but that creature has never been affected by Musician’s ability, that creature won’t have the triggered ability and its controller won’t have to pay mana. The music counters will stay on that creature but won’t do anything.
