Chimeric Mass is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
This artifact enters with X charge counters on it.: Until end of turn, this artifact becomes a Construct artifact creature with "This creature's power and toughness are each equal to the number of charge counters on it."
How it works : Chimeric Mass
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
If the number of charge counters on Chimeric Mass changes while it is a creature, its power and toughness will change accordingly.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If you activate Chimeric Mass’s last ability while it has no charge counters on it, it will become a 0/0 creature and be put into its owner’s graveyard as a state-based action.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Activating the last ability while Chimeric Mass is a creature will override any effects that set its power and/or toughness to another number, but effects that modify power and/or toughness without directly setting them will still apply.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
For example, say you activate the last ability of a Chimeric Mass with three charge counters on it. After it resolves, you cast Giant Growth targeting it. It’s now 6/6. Then Diminish (“Target creature becomes 1/1 until end of turn”) is cast targeting it. Once Diminish resolves, Chimeric Mass would be 4/4. Activating Chimeric Mass’s last ability a second time would make it 6/6 again until end of turn.
