Chameleon Colossus and other power increases
Asked by linkofhyrule 11 years ago
If i were to activate the Colossus' ability and it had a +1/+1 counter(s) or a static buff from being enchanted/equipped, does that count before or after getting +X/+X from it's ability?
case 1: it's got Ethereal Armor , giving it +4/+4 (with 3 other enchantments on my field) will it get +8/+8 as it's power is 8?
case 2: it's got 2 +1/+1 counters from Master Biomancer do the counters apply, then the ability for +6/+6, or is it after for +4/+4?
Note that you can use it's ability as many times as you can pay the cost. Assuming no buffs, the first activation will give it +4/+4, making it an 8/8, the second activation will therefore give it +8/+8, making it 16/16. I'm sure you can tell what the next activation would do.

Any increases to it's power, be they static or from counters, are taken into account when you activate the ability. So in your first case, activating its ability would in fact give it +8/+8. and as for your second case, it would get +6/+6 because the counters increase its power to 6.
