If I make a 2/2 unblockable using Goblin Tunneler then I cast Monstrous Growth on the 2/2 is it still unblockable?
Asked by zigkid3 14 years ago
say i use Goblin Tunneler on a 2/2 creature to make it unblockable. then could i cast Wild Growth on it afterwards? or would that stop it from being unblockable.
im thinking it was a 2/2 at the time so it should be unblockable. but then if i cast giant growth would the giant growth resolve first then and then it wouldnt be unblockable. or should i in that cast cast Giant Growth and then tap to make it unblockable so tunneler's ability resolves first while it's still a 2/2 and then giant growth happens afterwards? or would giant growth just cancel the effect anyway?

So theoretically, you can use Goblin Tunneler to turn around and use his ability on Kiln Fiend (a 1/2), then you use any instant/sorcery and pump him to 4 (or more if it's Giant Growth ) and he still goes through as unblockable.

give Kiln Fiend double strike with Assault Strobe and you got yourself a finisher.

or you can use the Red burn deck i have in my head now. try 27 instants/sorceries. 19 as burn spells. yes Assault Strobe . yes card:Chandra's Spitfire. now Goblin Tunneler . or i just burn my way through whatever they have out for a turn 2 win. yes this deck is standard. will put it up in a min.

yeah you can do that.
Goblin Tunneler only checks the power of the target creature before you cast any other spell on said creature. After you have casted Giant Growth on whatever the creature was, the ability already resolved and Goblin Tunneler doesn't care anymore.
