Is Decend 4/8 active while card in graveyard?

Asked by Taiyouai 6 months ago

I have a Varolz, the Scar-Striped deck, and I just pulled Akawalli, the Seething Tower. I want to know if while Akawalli is in the graveyard (and my graveyard meets the requirements of 4/8 permanents in it) does he get the bonuses so I can scavenge him for (assuming I have 4/8 other permanents in graveyard) 5/7 +1/+1 counters instead of just 3 counters?

No. Those abilities will only be relevant while it’s on the battlefield - when its in the grave it’s always a 3/3.

It’s for the same reason that Death's Shadow is always a 13/13 in the graveyard.
