Modified is a batching term introduced in Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. It is a way to collectively refer to creatures that are equipped, enchanted by the creature’s controller with an aura, or have counters on them.[1]
History
The Mystery Booster test card Louvaq, the Aberrant defined modified creatures as having a power, toughness, or ability different than their printed versions. For Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty this was reworked as "Creatures that are equipped, enchanted, or have counters are modified".[1] This is a functional change, as a creature such as Sylvan Advocate while controlling six lands would count under the Mystery Booster definition but not under the Neon Dynasty definition, while a creature equipped by Umezawa's Jitte would be the opposite.
Rulings
- Auras controlled by other players (e.g. Pacifism) don't cause creatures you control to become modified.
- For counters, it doesn't matter how the counter got onto the creature, nor does it matter what kind of counter it is. +1/+1 counters modify just as effectively as -1/-1 counters.
