Does Siphon Power's +1/-1 might effect apply to units that move to the targeted battlefield after the spell resolves?
verified
Answer
Ruling: No. Siphon Power is a one-time effect that only applies to units present at the targeted battlefield when the spell resolves. Units that move to that battlefield later are not affected.
Sequence:
- Siphon Power resolves, targeting a battlefield
- The spell identifies which units are currently at that battlefield
- Those units are given +1/-1 might until end of turn
- Units moving to that battlefield afterward do not receive the buff/debuff
Nuances:
- The key word is "give" which is a one-time action that occurs at resolution, not a passive effect
- The effect stays on the units that received it for the duration (until end of turn), even if those units move away from the battlefield
- The battlefield itself does not gain a passive ability; the spell gives the effect directly to the units
- This works the same way as other similar cards like Grand Strategem, Discipline, and Stupify
