Hi all, I know Brenard replaces power and toughness when turning a creature into a token, so a / PT creature for example becomes a 1/1 but what about Tarmogoyf? Since it says plus is this ability still in effect?

You can link cards by enclosing their names in double brackets.

Tarmogoyf

Tarmogoyf has what is known as a "characteristic-defining ability" (CDA), as do all */* cards. When a copy effect changes a characteristic that is being defined by a CDA, the CDA isn't copied. Tarmogoyf will be a 1/1.

707.9d When applying a copy effect that doesn’t copy a certain characteristic, retains one or more original values for a certain characteristic, or provides a specific set of values for a certain characteristic, any characteristic-defining ability (see rule 604.3) of the object being copied that defines that characteristic is not copied.
