Ruling (1)
- Nighthowl Pursuer's triggered ability will check when it attacks to see if you control a creature with power 4 or greater. If you don't, the ability won't trigger at all. It will not check again when it resolves, so the ability will resolve even if you no longer control a creature with power 4 or greater.
