How do Prowess and losing abilities interact?
Asked by Nephilim 8 years ago
Specifically I have a board of 2 Abbot of Keral Keep, a Monastery Swiftspear, and a Zada, Hedron Grinder in play, I cast Dance of the Skywise targeting Zada, which copies to my other creatures. As I understand it, Prowess triggers giving them +1/+1 until end of turn, then the Dance resolves turning them into 4/4 fliers, but the three that Prowess pumps still remain on those creatures, making them 5/5s instead. is that correct?
Part two of same question: if yes, then: if i respond to the first Dance with a second Dance will the prowess trigger twice?

Yes, that's correct. A Prowess trigger will always resolve before the spell that triggered it, re-setting base P/T won't overwrite any +/- changes from other effects, and removing a creature's Prowess ability won't get rid of triggers already on the stack.

Correct, prowess will trigger from you casting Dance of the Skywise because they haven't lost the Prowess ability yet.
Note: Prowess will not trigger for each copy as they weren't cast, they were created on the stack.
Yes, you can do that. As long as the first Dance of the Skywise hasn't resolved yet.
