Gameplay

Artifact Creature — Shapeshifter

As this creature enters, choose a number between 0 and 7. At the beginning of your upkeep, you may choose a number between 0 and 7. Shapeshifter's power is equal to the last chosen number and its toughness is equal to 7 minus that number.

Born like a Phoenix from the Flame, But neither Bulk nor Shape the same. —Jonathan Swift, "Vanbrug's House"

The ability that sets its power and toughness is a characteristic-defining ability. This means it applies before any other effects that modify power and/or toughness.

The ability that lets you choose a new number is a triggered ability that triggers only once each upkeep.
