How do equipment Buffs work with Mannichi, the fevered dream.
Asked by moo1234 3 years ago
I could ask a million questions about how Mannichi, the Fevered Dream but they all probably get answered by this question.
If I attach Slagwurm Armor to mannichi. It becomes a 1/8 then I switch it's power and toughness. It will become an 8/1. Then I unattach slagwurm armour, since it was supposed to give a toughness buff does it stay an 8/1, if so can I then reattach the armour to give it another +0/+6 buff making it an 8/7. If so at end of turn does it go back to being a 1/8 or a 7/8
If unattaching the armour removes the "+6/+0" buff and then reattach it (making minnichi a 2/7) at end of turn when it switches back does it become a 7/2
Sorry if that's confusing. If you want me to reword the question, or if I'm completely wrong please let me know

The most straightforward way of thinking about Mannichi is that you apply its P/T switching ability last.
P/T is determined in Layer 7, which has a number of sublayers. We have to apply all the effects from one sublayer before moving to the next one. Luckily, Layer 7 is the easiest Layer to understand. In the first sublayer, we consider characteristic-defining abilities (CDAs), like that of Tarmagoyf. In the next sublayer, we consider P/T setting effects, like that of Scale Up. In the third sublayer, we consider all buff/debuff effects, like your Slagwurm Armor as well as counters. In the fourth and final sublayer, we consider P/T switching effects.
Let's run through an example. Let's say your Ancient Crab is out with 2 +1/+1 counters, has Slagwurm Armor equip, and is affected by Mannichi. Nothing happens in the first two sublayers. In the third sublayer, there are 3 effects to apply. We apply all of these effects in "timestamp" (roughly chronological) order. Let's say the counters happened first. So, the Crab will go from being a 1/5 to a 3/7 to a 3/13. In the last sublayer, you switch the power and toughness, and the Crab becomes a 13/3. Should you unequip the Armor, the Crab will be a 7/3.
Hope this helps!!
