Title: Hmmmm... A question for those who know it...

Does triskelion trigger Sigil Captain's ability and get an extra +1/+1 counter? because it comes into play as a 1/1 then gets the additional 3 +1/+1 counters when he comes into play...

Fairly certain this is correct..... When Triskelion comes into play, it is in fact a 1/1 critter. The 3 counters it gains happens as a trigger effect after it comes into play. Therefore, you may choose to have Sigil Captain's trigger ability to stack before Triskelion's 3 counters are added.  So unless anyone knows otherwise, I'm pretty sure your Triskelion would come into play with 5 counters, as you choose the order of the trigger effects.

No it does not.  Sorry Sky. your close but the word on trislelion is wrong.  If you look at Triskelion text in the oracle, Triskelion "enters the battlefield" with the counters, not "When Triskelion enters the battlefield".  the difference being one is a replacement effect the other a triggered ability, but as a result of this difference triskelion enters play as a 4/4 so the captain does not trigger

Hmmm....i just went back and reread the wording on Triskelion, and you may be correct Gericault.  This is one of those tricky wording things which makes forums like this necessary....lol.  Not sure if I'm still 100% sold on it, but you may be right.
