Anax, Hardened in the Forge | Theros Beyond Death

Q: What does Anax, Hardened in the Forge do in Magic: The Gathering?

Whenever Anax or another nontoken creature you control dies, create a 1/1 red Satyr creature token with "This token can't block." If the creature had power 4 or greater, create two of those tokens instead.

If an activated ability or triggered ability has an effect that depends on your devotion to a color, you count the number of mana symbols of that color among the mana costs of permanents you control as the ability resolves.
