What happens when an opponent plays a creature if I have a Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite in play (“opponent’s creatures get -2/-2”) and my opponent has Pantlaza in play? Does Pantlaza get the trigger off the creature’s original stats or off the number resulting from Elesh’s reduction?

    @bec remember ‘creatures’ only exist in play, every we here else they are ‘creature cards’. This can be a handy way to remember that these effects care about the properties of the creature in play, not on the stack.

      No, yeah, I get that. Only had a small doubt about whether the -2/-2 from Elesh Norn would get priority over the triggered ability or the opposite would happen. Thanks for the reply!
