Hi, while learning about layers I stumbled upon the following question:
What happens if I control a Yixlid Jailer, 5 swamps, got a Nightmare in my graveyard and cast Corpse Lunge?
If I understand correctly, the ability removing takes place in layer 6, the P/T-setting CDA would take place in Layer 7a, but the ability is removed by then. What is the power Corpse Lunge sees? 0?

Cheers,
Christian

0 damage.

Corpse Lunge moves an object with the sole purpose of using information about that object, so it looks at what the object is like in the zone it has just left (this is the opposite of the case where you move an object and then do something else to it, in which case you look at the object in the zone it goes to to get information about it). The last time Nightmare was in the graveyard, its power/toughness was 0/0 for the reasons you state. Hence Corpse Lunge will use 0 for its effect.
