How to use it
Pick two creatures and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Emrakul Aeons Torn against Grizzly Bears to see how many vanilla 2/2s one titan outlasts.
Values are printed toughness from Gatherer and Scryfall, not damage marked in play. Damage does not lower toughness. A creature with marked damage equal to or above its toughness is destroyed as a state based action. Power is the first number and is covered on the companion mana cost page. Double faced and X toughness cards are left out so rows compare fixed printings.
