Gameplay

Creature — Zombie

Start your engines! (If you have no speed, it starts at 1. It increases once on each of your turns when an opponent loses life. Max speed is 4.) When this creature enters, create a 2/2 black Zombie creature token. Max speed — Whenever a creature you control dies, each opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life.

“Max speed — [ability]” means “As long as you have max speed, this object has [ability].” If the granted ability functions in a zone other than the battlefield, the max speed ability does too.

Start your engines! isn’t a triggered ability. Increasing your speed to 1 is something that happens as a state-based action as soon as you control a permanent with the ability. Notably, this includes gaining control of a permanent with the ability that another player controls.

If an effect needs to know what a player’s speed is and that player doesn’t have a speed, their speed is considered 0.
