Creature — Dragon Barbarian
This creature enters with X +1/+1 counters on it, where X is the greatest power among creatures you control and creature cards in your graveyard.
The raging green dragon left destruction—and at least one admirer—in its wake.

Ruling (1)
- Ambitious Dragonborn is not yet on the battlefield when its effect looks for the creature or creature card with the greatest power, so any creatures that have a bonus to their power based on the number of creatures on the battlefield won't count it until after it enters with counters.
