If the greatest power among creatures on the battlefield is shared by a creature you control and a creature you don't control, you draw a card.

If you don't control a creature with the greatest power, you choose which creature gets a +1/+1 counter while the ability is resolving. Players can't take actions in between the time you make this choice and the time that creature has a +1/+1 counter.
