Chimeric Staff

01/10/2009

If Chimeric Staff is already an artifact creature when you activate its ability, Chimeric Staff stays an artifact creature but the ability resets its creature types. You always apply the effect from this card before counters or other effects that modify power and toughness. For example, if you pay {3} to make it a 3/3, then someone gives it -1/-1, it will be a 2/2. If you then activate the ability with {4}, you will apply the "4/4" effect before the -1/-1 effect, so the end result will be a 3/3. Damage that was dealt to the creature stays on it.

一个变成生物的非生物永久物只有在其操控者从其最近一个回合开始以来持续操控它的情况下才能攻击，且只有在此情况下才能起动其{T}异能。该永久物成为生物的时间长短并不重要。
