    How it works

    Before you start

    You have not changed the value of X this turn using Glava's ability.

    Steps

    At the beginning of your precombat main phase, Summon: Bahamut triggers, putting a lore counter on it and triggering its fourth chapter ability. Activate Gogo by paying {2} and tapping it, targeting Summon: Bahamut's trigger. Glava triggers, causing the value of X used for Gogo's ability to become 5 instead. Resolve Gogo's ability, copying Summon: Bahamut's trigger five times. Resolve all Summon: Bahamut triggers, dealing damage to each opponent equal to six times the total mana value of permanents you control other than Summon: Bahamut.
