Hello all, I was curious on the wording of Varolz's ability that gives creatures in the yard scavenge. It says exile it and then pay its mana cost. Then put counters on target creature equal to the scavenged creatures power. If I have a Boneyard Wurm in my graveyard(power/toughness equal to the number of creatures in my yard) and I scavenge it with 3 other creatures in my yard, would I get the 4 counters? It feels like to me that its a 3/3 once it leaves the graveyard since it can't count itself and therefor would only provide 3 counters on a creature.

Sorry if this is a little confusing, but thanks for the help in advance!

You will get 4 counters.

As in the Possibility Storm question from earlier this week, when an ability moves an object and then refers to the object, it uses the object that existed in the previous zone unless it doesn't make sense. Here it just wants information about the object. Therefore, it will use Boneyard Wurm's power as it last existed in the graveyard, so 4.
