Would Death Baron give a Zombie Skeleton +2/+2?
Asked by Psychonautical 9 years ago
Since Death Baron specifies both Zombies and Skeletons separately, it sounds like if you could turn a Skeleton into a Zombie as well (such as with Nim Deathmantle) then it should get the bonus twice. Yes or no?

Always check the Gatherer rulings before asking a question.
In general, though, when an ability lists multiple types in the same line, it only checks whether the relevant object has at least one of those types. Having multiple types will not apply the benefit multiple times. For that you need separate abilities, like those on Ashenmoor Liege.

@JWiley129: Thanks, I didn't even think to check gatherer first, and I have done so with other card. Go figure.
@Epochalyptik: Thanks a lot, that is a really good example that completely clears up any future questions of a similar nature.

From Gatherer: "A creature that is both a Skeleton and a Zombie it will only get the bonus only once."
