Wall of Tombstones 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
Defender (This creature can't attack.) At the beginning of your upkeep, this creature's base toughness becomes equal to 1 plus the number of creature cards in your graveyard. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)
How it works : Wall of Tombstones
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
The effect from the ability overwrites other effects that set power and/or toughness if and only if those effects existed before the ability resolved. It will not overwrite effects that modify power or toughness (whether from a static ability, counters, or a resolved spell or ability), nor will it overwrite effects that set power and toughness which come into existence after the ability resolves. Effects that switch the creature’s power and toughness are always applied after any other power or toughness changing effects, including this one, regardless of the order in which they are created.
