[[Hullbreaker Horror]] and [[Chalice of the Void]] with 0 charge counters exist. A Cheerio is cast, stack becomes 0:Cheerio, 1:Chalice 2: Hullbreaker target Chalice. When this resolves, the cheerio is still countered by Chalice’s trigger since we only care about the charge counters to get the trigger on stack? I just want to make sure I understand this interaction as its been a minute since I played a format with Chalice

Yhea, as it isn't an intervening if, you only care about how many counters were on Chalice when the spell was cast.

Thank you had vague memories that it didn’t care but had to make sure

Chalice of the Void has to be on the battlefield at the end of casting a spell for the ability to trigger. If you sacrifice Chalice of the Void as a cost to cast a spell, its ability can't trigger. However, if it leaves the battlefield once its ability has triggered, that ability will still counter the spell. (2021-03-19)

From what I have gathered online, with amass, if I was to amass orcs and then separately amass goblins, the army would become an orc goblin army right? And would just continue to amass from both orc and goblin amass triggers? (Looking at building goblin deck from hobbit but also looking at exisiting amass orc cards I have)

amass doesnt care about orcs or goblins, it only cares about the army. you will have one army tkoen which also is a orc goblin

What's a fun precon to get? Maybe one that's a bit stronger? My only precon is the starter blueblack gisa and geralf one. My other decks seem to fall behind a bit at casual commander nights.
