## Official Rulings
- *(2005-10-01)* While animated, Svogthos’s power and toughness changes each time a creature card enters or leaves its controller’s graveyard.
- *(2008-08-01)* A noncreature permanent that turns into a creature can attack, and its {T} abilities can be activated, only if its controller has continuously controlled that permanent since the beginning of their most recent turn. It doesn’t matter how long the permanent has been a creature.
- *(2009-10-01)* Activating the ability that turns it into a creature while it’s already a creature will override any effects that set its power and/or toughness to a specific number. However, any effect that raises or lowers power and/or toughness (such as the effect created by Giant Growth, Glorious Anthem, or a +1/+1 counter) will continue to apply.
