Official rulings

Two official rulings apply to Aura Gnarlid, newest first.

  • Aura Gnarlid's second ability counts each Aura regardless of who controls it.
  • The power of each potential blocking creature is checked against Aura Gnarlid's power only as blockers are declared. Once a creature blocks Aura Gnarlid, increasing the Gnarlid's power or decreasing the blocking creature's power won't undo that block.
