Ruling (1)
- If you chose a creature on the battlefield, use that creature's power when Monstrous Emergence resolves to determine how much damage is dealt. If that creature is no longer on the battlefield when Monstrous Emergence resolves, use that creature's power as it last existed on the battlefield to determine how much damage is dealt.
