Supernatural Stamina
Asked by Tagg 6 years ago
I cast a spell that puts a single -1/-1 counter onto target 1/1 prowess creature my opponent controls. My opponent casts Supernatural Stamina targeting his 1/1 prowess guy triggering prowess making his creature a 2/2 until end of turn while my spell is still on the stack. My spell resolves giving the prowess creature a -1/-1 counter. At the end of my turn the prowess creature will die due to the +1/+1 prowess trigger falling off but does Supernatural Stamina bring back his creature to the battlefield or is this checked prior to the +1/+1 counter falling off?

Remember to link to cards.
Let's look at the stack. From bottom to top:
-1/-1 counter spell
Supernatural Stamina
Prowess
Prowess resolves, making that creature into a 2/2
Supernatural Stamina resolves, making it 4/2.
Your counter thing resolves, leaving it at 3/1.
Looking at the cleanup step: First, players discard to hand size. Next, "until the end of turn" effects end. So the prowess creature becomes a 2/0. It remains on the battlefield. Finally, the game performs state based actions. The game notices a 0 toughness creature and places it in the graveyard. Since Supernatural Stamina has worn off, it cannot revive.

Note that this situation does not involve a +1/+1 counter.

So i read your breakdown of bottom to top loved it looked correct but question. Doesn't supernatural stamina state the next time it dies so there for it is just a pump spell untill the -1/-1 counter hits then it kicks in and comes back taped if not killed just gets 2/0 so therefore no it would not kill it but still would not get to attack so prowless and 2/0 really just saved the 1/1 guy... The -1/-1 counter will come off from its effect as well by leaving battlefield same applys if u have +1/+1 counters?

The relevant rule here is from the cleanup step instructions:
During the cleanup step, all things that last "until end of turn" go away simultaneously. That includes the +1/+1 from prowess and the effects of Supernatural Stamina. After both of those effects have ended state based actions will be checked, and the creature will go to the graveyard normally.
