Notes

• It is possible to summon multiple copies of Jarvan IV in a single attack, if their total mana cost can be paid.
• Having an ally die from 3 Rimefang Wolf's effect will still count as having survived a strike from a blocker.
• The strikes do not need to happen between an attacker and its assigned blocker, any ally surviving a strike from an enemy blocker counts.
• Summoning a Titanic Jarvan IV with its cost reduced by a 1 Sigil of the Storm, will not destroy the Stacked Sigils.
