The Dealt Damage Deals

One of the little clues that a card has a triggered ability is when the rules text begins with "Whenever". We've run a few searches and estimate that over 750 cards begin with that Magic word. However, of those, there have only been 17 that use the trigger: Whenever X is dealt damage. The most popular first appearance of this trigger was on the Alpha Fungusaur which says... "Each time Fungusaur is damaged but not destroyed, put a +1/+1 counter on it."

Fifth Dawn adds another similar trigger as today's preview card Rite of Passage (featured in Mark Gottlieb's article "It Can't Be Wrong If It Feels So Rite") shares this rare Fungusaur-like ability.

As a tribute to all of the cards that react to being dealt damage, today's Arcana presents:
