Scale Up and Prowess

Asked by Jimmy_Chinchila 4 years ago

If I have a Monastery Swiftspear in play and want to cast both Assault Strobe and Scale Up , can I order the triggers such that I get both Prowess triggers? Does Scale Up remove Prowess or is it merely replacing creature type and base P/T? Also, do the Prowess +1/+1s still remain even after Scale Up resolves? I’m thinking it’ll be a 8/6 double strike haste when all resolved...Thanks!

Scale Up does not remove Prowess or any other abilities as it does not specifically state the creature’s other abilities are lost.

The creature also continues to get the Prowess bonuses. Scale Up does not set the creature’s P/T generally, but rather the “base” P/T. Any bonuses thereon would still be applied.

So, in the end, you will have your 8/6 with haste and double strike, regardless of the casting order.
