legendary matters cards mtg How else could they use 'modal matters' in Magic? 🤔 #MTG Magic: The Gathering Bloomburrow Commander

It doesn't copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether that permanent has any counters on it or any Auras and/or Equipment attached to it, and it doesn't copy any non-copy effects that have changed that permanent's power, toughness, types, color, abilities, or so on

This mom is banned in Commander, so dont get too excited

He Orbed my Swamp, and cast Sedge Troll

If damage from a noncreature source is prevented this way, Comeuppance deals that much damage to the source's controller

Then, you can have those defender creatures start swinging in, dealing damage based on their toughness instead of power, which is good since they generally dont have much power in the first place
