- The ability of an Ivory Guardians will affect itself as well as all other creatures named Ivory Guardians (not just the ones you control).
- Each ability applies a maximum of once, even if an opponent controls multiple nontoken red permanents or multiple opponents each control a nontoken red permanent.
