If Viktor's tokens have their might reduced by Ahri Legend (instance effect) and Ahri Inquisitive (continuous effect for rest of turn), then Siphon Power is played, does the Ahri Inquisitive effect recalculate after cleanup to reduce the token back to 1 might?

Ruling: All three effects (Ahri Legend, Ahri Inquisitive, and Siphon Power) are instance effects that apply once based on their duration, not continuous effects. After both Ahri effects resolve and then Siphon Power is played, all tokens will have 2 Might.

Nuances:

  • The duration of an effect ("for the rest of the turn") does not make it a continuous effect
  • Continuous effects are exemplified by cards like Trifarian War Camp or green Leona
  • For continuous effects like Trifarian War Camp: if a token is affected by the continuous effect first, then has its might reduced (e.g., by Stupify), it stays reduced because the continuous effect already applied and won't apply again after cleanup
