At the beginning of my combat step, I have Xenagos’ triggered ability target Gray Ogre.
- If the ability resolves with no changes to the board state, what is Gray Ogre’s power/toughness?
- If, in response to Xenagos’ triggered ability, an opponent destroys Domri (and leaves my other two permanents alone) but then lets the triggered ability resolve, what is Gray Ogre’s power/toughness?
(Trying to confirm if Domri’s static ability will be doubled or not.)
Xenagos' ability checks the creature's actual power, as modified by any and all effects, as it resolves, and that's what it uses to determine the +X/+X. So in the first case, the Ogre is 3/2 when the ability resolves, so it gets +3/+3 and ends up 6/5. And in the second case, the Ogre is 2/2 when the ability resolves, so it gets +2/+2 and ends up 4/4.
