Sworn Defender 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 creature's power becomes the toughness of target creature blocking or being blocked by this creature minus 1 until end of turn, and its toughness becomes 1 plus the power of that creature until end of turn.
How it works : Sworn Defender
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
You apply power/toughness changing effects in a series of sublayers in the following order: (a) effects from characteristic-defining abilities; (b) effects that set power and/or toughness to a specific number or value; (c) effects that modify power and/or toughness but don’t set power and/or toughness to a specific number or value; (d) changes from counters; (e) effects that switch a creature’s power and toughness. This card’s effect is always applied in (b), which means that effects applied in sublayer (c), (d), or (e) will not be overwritten; they will be applied to the new value.
No other card is named in this ruling.
