🖋️ Curator's Notes

Each creature assigns combat damage equal to its toughness rather than its power.

""This is an Ent house, and there are no seats, I fear. But you may sit on the table. You are thirsty, I expect. Perhaps you are also tired. Drink this!""

2007-10-01

Doran's ability doesn't actually change creatures' power; it changes only the value of the combat damage they assign. All other rules and effects that check power or toughness use the real values.

2007-10-01

Doran's ability means, for example, that a 2/3 creature will assign 3 damage in combat instead of 2.

2007-10-01

This effect is mandatory and affects all creatures.
