MTG: Evolve & Master Biomancer?
Scenario: One Cloudfin Raptor in play with no counters and I play Master Biomancer. Evolve is triggered and a +1/+1 counter goes on the Cloudfin Raptor. Next turn I play a second Cloudfin Raptor.
So as I am reading this the second Cloudfin Raptor is entering the battlefield with 2 +1/+1 counters due to Master Biomancer's ability. Question being: does this trigger the first Cloudfin Raptor's Evolve ability? The wording on the Master Biomancer states that the creature comes into play with "enters the battlefield with a number of additional +1/+1 counters on it equal to Master Biomancer's power" thus it would enter the battlefield as a 2/3 creature and would trigger the first Cloudfin Raptor's Evolve ability.
As opposed to saying something like when it enters the battlefield add X amount of +1/+1 counters which it would enter as a 0/1 and then add the X counters and not trigger the Evolve.
I think I am playing this right, just want to double check.

You are correct. With Master Biomancer in play, the creatures enter the battlefield with the counters already on them. There's no point at which they're on the battlefield without counters, they don't enter as normal and then get the counters. The second Raptor enters as a 2/3, causing the first one to evolve.
