If an ability would produce one or more mana of an undefined type, it produces no mana instead.

Some spells or abilities that produce mana restrict how that mana can be spent, have an additional effect that affects the spell or ability that mana is spent on, or create a delayed triggered ability (see rule 603.7a) that triggers when that mana is spent. This doesn’t affect the mana’s type.

Some abilities produce mana based on the type of mana another permanent or permanents “could produce.” The type of mana a permanent could produce at any time includes any type of mana that an ability of that permanent would produce if the ability were to resolve at that time, taking into account any applicable replacement effects in any possible order. Ignore whether any costs of the ability could or could not be paid. If that permanent wouldn’t produce any mana under these conditions, or no type of mana can be defined this way, there’s no type of mana it could produce.

To “tap [a permanent] for mana” is to activate a mana ability of that permanent that includes the {T} symbol in its activation cost. See rule 605, “Mana Abilities.”

An ability that triggers whenever a permanent “is tapped for mana” or is tapped for mana of a specified type triggers whenever such a mana ability resolves and produces mana or the specified type of mana.

A replacement effect that applies if a permanent “is tapped for mana” or tapped for mana of a specific type and/or amount modifies the mana production event while such an ability is resolving and producing mana or the specified type and/or amount of mana.

If an object’s enters-the-battlefield triggered ability or replacement effect refers to X, and the spell that became that object as it resolved had a value of X chosen for any of its costs, the value of X for that ability is the same as the value of X for that spell, although the value of X for that permanent is 0. This is an exception to rule 107.3i.

The tap symbol is {T}. The tap symbol in an activation cost means “Tap this permanent.” A permanent that’s already tapped can’t be tapped again to pay the cost. A creature’s activated ability with the tap symbol in its activation cost can’t be activated unless the creature has been under its controller’s control continuously since their most recent turn began. See rule 302.6.

When a creature you control that isn't renowned deals combat damage to a player, you'll put a +1/+1 counter on it and it will become renowned. Since it wasn't renowned when it dealt combat damage, Aragorn, Hornburg Hero's last ability won't trigger, and you won't double the number of +1/+1 counters on it.

Renown won't trigger when a creature deals damage to a planeswalker, a battle, or another creature. It also won't trigger when a creature deals noncombat damage to a player.

If Aragorn, Hornburg Hero leaves the battlefield after first strike damage is dealt but before regular combat damage, creatures you control that dealt first strike damage but no longer have first strike won't also deal regular combat damage (unless they have double strike for some reason).

If a creature has multiple instances of renown, each triggers separately. The first one that resolves causes the creature to become renowned, which means any additional renown abilities that creature has will have no effect. The creature's controller chooses what order to put those renown abilities on the stack, so they can choose to have the ability with the higher renown number resolve first.
