Chomping Kavu Rulings

  • Apr 14, 2023

    Backup confers only abilities that are actually printed below it. Any abilities that are gained by the permanent are ignored, including abilities gained due to a resolving spell or ability or copy effects.

  • Apr 14, 2023

    If a backup ability causes another creature to gain abilities, the creature with backup will still have those abilities.

  • Apr 14, 2023

    If a backup ability targets the creature with backup, that creature will get +1/+1 counters, but it won’t gain additional abilities.

  • Apr 14, 2023

    If a permanent enters the battlefield as a copy of a card with a backup ability or a token is created that is a copy of that card, the order of the printed abilities is maintained.

  • Apr 14, 2023

    Once Chomping Kavu has been legally blocked by a creature, changing that creature’s power to 2 or less won’t undo that block.
