Primal forcemage and scale up interaction
Asked by GearsGames 4 years ago
Looked around and couldn't find what I was looking for hoping someone knows answer or can link ruling.
Situation: Primal Forcemage on battlefield, play Spark Elemental it receives +3/+3 as it enters play, my question is if Scale Up is cast on it does it become a 6/4 or a 9/7?
I know if it were counters instead of a until end of turn perment change it would keep counters ontop of the 6/4 adjustment to base power and toughness. Curious if if until end of turn pump does the same or if it inherently becomes part of that creature then Scale Up would essentially wipe away that and completely reset its power/toughness to the 6/4.
Boza says... Accepted answer #1
9/7.
From Gatherer for Scale Up :
"Effects that modify the affected creatures’ power or toughness (such as the effects of Force of Virtue or Giant Growth) will apply no matter when they started to take effect. The same is true for counters that change the creatures’ power or toughness (such as +1/+1 counters). "
This is why the card specifies base power and toughness.
