I have an Aether Vial in play with three Charge Counters on it.
I activate it. Before the activated ability resolves, my Aether Vial is destroyed through some means, be it Disenchant or Krosan Grip or Deed or whatnot.
My question is, when does the ability on Aether Vial check how many charge counters are on it? If this ability resolves and the Aether Vial isn't in play anymore, is it going to recognize there were three charge counters on it? Or is it going to check this during the ability's resolution and find that, since there's no Vial in play, there are consequently no charge counters on it?
