Would Rowan Kenrith's +2 Ability be restricted by outside effects?

Asked by BMHKain 5 years ago

Since, of all things, I have cards in my Superfriends deck such as Meekstone, Ensnaring Bridge, & even Dueling Grounds, would Grounds reduce the # of creatures target player(s) attack w/ to 1, lockdown giant Fat w/ Meekstone, or even force almost all creatures not to attack via Ensnaring Bridge (Handsize Varies...)? I just want to be sure as I want either a Red Light or Green Light to put Rowan Kenrith in for these reasons. That, & I have some new adds in said decks' Maybeboard... Thanks again BTW. & sorry for those who see Rowan as Trash still in Superfriends... :(

Ensnaring Bridge and Dueling Grounds will interfere with Rowan Kenrith's first ability. Meekstone will just do what it says, and doesn't have any special interaction with the other cards in your question (let me know if I misunderstood any part of your question).

Notice that Rowan's ability says the creatures attack "if able". If there's some other effect stopping them from attacking then they can't attack. If Ensnaring Bridge is on the battlefield then creatures with power greater than your hand size can't attack. If Dueling Grounds is on the battlefield then only one creature can attack.
