When this creature enters, if you control a black permanent, target player loses 2 life and you gain 2 life.
2 / 2
Non trovando nutrimento nelle terre di Grixis, decise di passare ai cieli di Bant.Volare Quando lo Strige Parassita entra in gioco, se controlli un permanente nero, un giocatore bersaglio perde 2 punti vita e tu guadagni 2 punti vita.
If you don't control a black permanent immediately after Parasitic Strix enters the battlefield, its ability doesn't trigger. If you don't control one as the ability resolves, no player loses or gains life. It doesn't have to be the same black permanent both times, however.
Parasitic Strix's ability triggers only once, no matter how many black permanents you control beyond the first.
