Does Necrotic Ooze still get +1/+1 if Nirkana Revenant is in the graveyard?

Asked by Pheardemons 6 years ago

So Necrotic Ooze gets Nirkana Revenant's activated ability if Nirkana is in the graveyard. However, the exact working on Nirkana Revenant specifically says "Nirkana Revenant gets +1/+1 until end of turn." So being that Necrotic Ooze gets the activated ability, but doesn't get the name, does Necrotic Ooze still get +1/+1?

Yes, it gets +1/+1. When a card uses its own name in its rules text, it means "this object, right here", and that meaning will carry over to other cards that gain the ability. In your example, the ability that Necrotic Ooze gains says "Necrotic Ooze gets +1/+1 until end of turn".
