Is Wandering Fumarole boltable?
Asked by BloodoftheBloodMoon 9 years ago
There was a little debate about this at my lgs.. So say that I have a Wandering Fumarole in play, activated, and attacking them for 1 damage (not a 4/1). They say no blocks. In response to no blocks, I activate the ability to change it to a 4/1. They Lightning Bolt it in response to the activation. Would I be able to change it's toughness back to 4 to ensure it would still live?

Wandering Fumarole will die. No matter how many times you activate its ability, you have two choices to leave it before the Bolt resolves: as a 1/4 or a 4/1. If you leave it as a 4/1, Bolt will resolve and it will die. If you leave it as a 1/4, Bolt will resolve and you will have a 1/4 with 3 damage on it AND an activation still on the stack to switch the power and toughness. Wandering Fumarole will switch its power and toughness again and die as a 4/1 with 3 damage marked on it.
