At the beginning of your end step, if an artifact or creature was put into a graveyard from the battlefield this turn, put a +1/+1 counter on Ichor Shade.
Ichor Shade’s ability will check as your end step begins if an artifact or creature was put into a graveyard from the battlefield this turn. If none have, the ability won’t trigger at all.
If a nontoken artifact or creature is put into a graveyard, it doesn’t matter what happens to the card afterward. Ichor Shade’s ability will count it even if the card has left the graveyard by the time the ability resolves.
The ability will count any artifact or creature that was put into a graveyard, including tokens.
