Will Kresh the Bloodbraided survive damage through his ability in a boardwide damage scenario?
If Kresh is a 5/5 when the damage is dealt,  he will die when the damage resolves because he will have 5 damage marked on him the next time state-based actions are checked, causing him to go to the graveyard. The check will occur before the triggered ability resolves, so he'll never have the chance to add the +1/+1 counter.
