Auric Shards (Yellow)

Auric Shards’ first ability triggers when it enters the arena (e.g. resolves on the stack, when it is put into the arena from another card’s effect, returns to the arena, etc.). This is a targeted effect: you must target up to one attack with the fragment ability in the arena or the stack. When the triggered effect resolves, that targeted attack will get +1. However, if the Auric Shards has a holo counter on it at the time the triggered effect resolves and that same Auric Shards was not made private/enters into a non-arena zone, instead the attack gets +4/3/2.

You can choose not to target any attacks with fragment. If you do not, Auric Shards’ triggered effect is not added to the stack.

If the targeted attack with fragment no longer has its fragment ability when it resolves (e.g. it loses the ability), that attack is no longer a valid target and will not get the power increase.

If Auric Shards leaves the arena, any + effects from resolving its triggered effect that have already been applied to the attack will continue to apply. For example if Auric Shards was banished by Zyggy’s ability and returns with a holo counter, the new effect can be applied to that same attack as the previous effect.
