If Ascendant Spirit is blinked after the counters have been applied, which abilities will remain upon ETB?
Asked by rockgobbler 5 days ago
After four turns, Ascendant Spirit is now a 6/6 flyer with the ability to draw a card after dealing damage to a player. If the spirit is hit with Flicker of Fate, which abilities will remain?
It will be a 1/1 spirit. Exiling it and returning it to the battlefield makes it a new object with no connection to the original, the same as if you cast a new Ascendant Spirit from your hand.

Yikes. Sinking that much mana seems insane when you could simply have a better snow creature in its place.

My assumption is that the spirit would be a 4/4 Spirit Warrior Angel that draws a card upon hitting a player. However, each one of those steps could be contingent on the presence of the counters. Tricky tricky. Any help would be appreciates!
