ETB effect
Asked by FatFreddiesCat 10 months ago
Sorry, I'm sure this is an obvious question, but I can't figure it out from the rules. I have Prava of the Steel Legion and Symmetry Matrix in play. If I create (say) a 1/1 Thopter, does it enter as 1/1, allowing me to draw a card via Symmetry Matrix, or does it enter as a 2/5, NOT allowing me to draw a card? What are the general timing rules on something like this? Thanks.

If it's your turn (since that's when Prava's ability is "on"), the token will enter as a 2/5 and the Matrix won't trigger. There's no period of time, not even a very short one, when the token is on the battlefield but somehow not being affected by Prava's ability. It will be affected right from the moment it enters.
