Rulings
-
Will not generally kill zero cost creatures because the age counters go on before the ability triggers. If would be possible if something like Power Conduit were removing counters.
-
If you don't pay the cumulative upkeep, you'll sacrifice Wave of Terror before your draw step begins. It won't destroy any creatures that turn.
-
This destroys creatures with mana value exactly equal to the appropriate number, not equal to or less than that number.
