How do Lord of Extinction and the Mimeoplasm Interact?
Asked by DemonDragonJ 8 years ago
I am planning to eventually build a green/black/blue EDH deck, with The Mimeoplasm as the general and Lord of Extinction as one of the other creatures in that deck, but before I begin the construction of that deck, I must first know how those two creatures interact with each other.
I know that LoE's power and toughness are the same in all zones, so I wish to utilize that trait to make the Mimeoplasm extremely powerful.
For the sake of this question, I shall use a very simple example: presume that there are three cards in each of two player's graveyards, one of which is a Lord of Extinction and one of which is a Seacoast Drake. The LoE shall be a 6/6, because there are six cards total in all graveyards. If I summon the Mimeoplasm, having it enter the battle field as a copy of seacoast drake with a number of +1/+1 counters on it equal to LoE's power, what shall the Mimeoplasm's power and toughness be? Will it have six +1/+1 counters and be a 7/9, as I hope, or shall it be less than that?

Thank you very much; I shall admit that I am disappointed by that answer, but it shall not be difficult to wait until there are a large number of cards in all graveyards before I execute that combo, to make it most effective.

The Mimeoplasm calculates the number of counters after the cards are exiled, which means that Lord of Extinction's power will go down by 2 for the removal of Lord of Extinction and Seacoast Drake from graveyards.
You'll get a 1/3 with four +1/+1 counters.
