Phyrexian Ingester 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
Imprint — When this creature enters, you may exile target nontoken creature. This creature gets +X/+Y, where X is the exiled creature card's power and Y is its toughness.
How it works : Phyrexian Ingester
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Phyrexian Ingester will get bonuses based on the card's power and toughness in exile. Counters, Auras, and Equipment it had on it before it was exiled won't add to those numbers.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Abilities that define a creature's power and toughness apply while that card is in exile, but abilities that add or subtract from it don't. For example, the ability of Battle Squadron applies to determine Phyrexian Ingester's power and toughness, but the ability of Werebear doesn't. Phyrexian Ingester's power and toughness are constantly updated if the exiled card's power and/or toughness change.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #3· Wizards of the Coast
If the card in exile isn't a creature card (perhaps because it was a land that was temporarily a creature while on the battlefield), Phyrexian Ingester doesn't get a bonus.
No other card is named in this ruling.
