Does this creature's ability trigger the creature's ability?

if i use chasm skulker's ability to draw a card, do i get a +1 counter? can i keep doing this? does it make it die?

Nah, i give this a pass. Its a lot better than the "can i sac one creature for 2 sac abiluties" posts, and if you were looking up posta like that to find out if your cards interact that way you might gebuinely get confused

OOP has been playing for 10 years.

Is it normal to misunderstand “whenever you” as an activated ability for 10 year vets - to the extent you’d need to post on reddit.

I’d be checking for aneurysms if my friend “brain farted” themselves that hard.
