  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    Use the power of the enchanted creature as the enters-the-battlefield ability resolves to determine how much damage is dealt.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  3. #3· Wizards of the Coast

    If Bind the Monster is no longer on the battlefield as the enters-the-battlefield ability resolves, use the power of the creature it was last enchanting to determine how much damage is dealt. Damage is dealt even if that creature is also not on the battlefield at that time.
