Rulings

    If a card in your graveyard is an artifact creature card, count it only once when determining how many Insect tokens to create for Aatchik’s first ability.
  • 2025-02-07 · Wizards of the Coast
    If Aatchik is dealt lethal damage at the same time as another Insect you control, Aatchik’s last ability will still trigger, causing each opponent to lose 1 life, but Aatchik won’t get a +1/+1 counter in time to save it.
