Is ajani's avatar token affected by -1/-1 counters and if so do I lose life for each -1/-1 counter on it?
Asked by maxtheax 13 years ago
Say my life total is 15, and I use Ajani Goldmane s final ability, I get a 15/15. Now say he attacks next turn and is blocked by a Ichorclaw Myr my avatar token recieves a -1/-1 counter, but it says that it's power and toughness are equal to your life total, so do you also lose one life In addition to the -1/-1 counter? Or does the -1/-1 counter just not do anything?
neither. your avatar tokens power/toughness is equal to your life yes but on top of that it has a -1/-1 counter from the infect. it doesnt effect your life at all, only your avatar

Ohhhhh... It's power and toughness is still 15, but is being reduced by 1...

The -1/-1 token affects the Avatar token, just like it affects any other creature.
Therefore, if your on 1 life, the creature would become a 0/0 token and die.
Or as in your example, it would become a 14/14 token as you have 15 life, and there is a -1/-1 token on the creature.
The -1/-1 token does NOT affect your life total however.
I hope this helps answer the problem.
