Flash Flying When this creature enters, switch target creature's power and toughness until end of turn.
How it works : Crookclaw Transmuter
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Effects that switch a creature's power and toughness apply after all other effects, regardless of when those effects began to apply. For instance, if you target a 1/2 creature then give it +2/+0 later in the turn, it's a 2/3 creature, not a 4/1 creature.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to a creature may become lethal if you switch its power and toughness during that turn.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Switching a creature's power and toughness twice (or any even number of times) effectively returns the creature to the power and toughness it had before any switches.
No other card is named in this ruling.
