Maester Seymour 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
At the beginning of combat on your turn, put a number of +1/+1 counters equal to Maester Seymour's power on another target creature you control.: Monstrosity X, where X is the number of counters among creatures you control. (If this creature isn't monstrous, put X +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes monstrous.)
How it works : Maester Seymour
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The value of X is determined only once, as Maester Seymour's last ability resolves.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Monstrous isn't an ability that a creature has. It's just something true about that creature. If the creature stops being a creature or loses its abilities, it will continue to be monstrous.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If Maester Seymour is no longer on the battlefield when its first ability resolves, use its power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how many +1/+1 counters to put on the target creature.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can't become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens.
No other card is named in this ruling.
