Title: +1/+1 counters, Wight of Precinct Six
Post by: Destore117 on May 08, 2013, 09:01:27 PM
If I were to couple a Wight of Precinct Six with a Curse of Oblivion
Would Wight lose the +1 counters?
{Wight of Precinct Six}
  {Curse of Oblivion}

The Wight does not actually have counters on it, but rather a static effect that constantly checks the graveyard for creatures and modifies power/toughness accordingly.

Because it is constantly checking, if the number of creatures in the checked graveyard(s) were to decrease, such as with an effect like {Curse of Oblivion}, the Wight would indeed shrink to accommodate as the game state is checked.

Thanks very much. That defeats the purpose of those two cards being together then...
