If Herald of Ilharg leaves the battlefield before its last ability resolves, use the number of counters that were on Herald of Ilharg as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much damage to deal.
Trample
Whenever you cast a creature spell, put two +1/+1 counters on this creature. If that spell has mana value 5 or greater, this creature deals damage equal to the number of counters on it to each opponent.
