Looks like you get the original P/T...... does that mean game?
Isn't your Vat creature gone at my EOT?

Oversoul thinks the copies remain at 1/1 also, so I'm going to do some digging as well.

The Vat creature is gone, isn't it? It was actually gone at my EOT - it was a copy of the Manticore.

No, it obviously helps me :) Just trying to be fair and make sure of everything.

I forgot to untap everything as I was concentrating on the copy question :rolleyes:

Use the Vat to make a Manticore copy

BTW - you don't Draw from Majesty since all your creatures are 1/1s

I also have no response to the Vat

Whoops, my bad about the draw. Putting it back

No saccing of anyone when it ETB.
Oversoul stopped (or hasn't been on) since the last posts in the Rules so I'll keep going as we assume the copy of a token is at "full strength".

Attack with everyone but Feldon and pay 12, Ghired triggers and creates a full strength Rhino token. It and the Manticore copy are the only ones at full strength (I starred them for reference)

Yeah, that's game. Good one. I could only draw 2 cards from Faithless looting and I got nothing that helps.
You got yours going very well.
I just didn't have enough land to get more spells cast for the guttersnipe.
I could have killed all the creatures with Rolling Temblor, but I had no other win conditions, so I was hoping to squeak another turn out with the gutter snipe.

Good game indeed! I almost misplayed that, I should have killed your Guttersnipe last turn instead of the Wall.... I was fortunate to keep getting land to keep attacking...

Sorry. Been pretty busy lately. I looked around a bit and it's possible that this question invokes layers, in which case I think you'd be right because the effect of copying something is in Layer 1 and the effect of changing a creature's base stats is in Layer 7b. But I'm not clear on whether the layer issue even comes up and layers are dumb anyway and I don't have the knowledge base to figure that one out. We need to lure real rules experts to this site. :p

It's okay. Mooseman and I agree, although to his detriment, so we just continued on. If it turns out to be the other way, we'll try to remember for next time when he plays this :)
