If green Leona is on a battlefield with 2 enemy units (Sprite Mother and its token), and Sprite Mother is stunned (reducing it to 1 power), does Convergent Mutation set Sprite Mother to 3 power or does it stay at 1 power due to Leona's -8 aura?

Answer

Ruling: Sprite Mother would be set to 3 power. The game applies positive modifiers before negative modifiers, and since Leona's ability is an aura effect (not a snapshot effect), it applies last after Convergent Mutation's set effect.

Sequence:

  • Convergent Mutation sets Sprite Mother's power to 3
  • Leona's -8 aura applies after as a negative modifier
  • Final result: Sprite Mother has 3 power

Nuances:

  • Leona (Zealot) always applies last
  • Aura effects like Leona's don't snapshot, unlike triggered abilities such as Ahri's
  • This interaction is expected to be clarified in an updated Comprehensive Rules
