How do Scaled Nightmare and Stormwind Champion interact?

Does the Champion's buff get incorporated in the Nightmare's effect, or does the dragon's effect work on the base value, with the +1 from the Champion getting added afterwards?

Best Answer

Assuming you have a Stormwind Champion on board, the Scaled Nightmare will come out as a 3/9. Assuming nothing happens to the minions on the next turn, the attack doubles and the Scaled Nightmare is a 6/9. If you then trade off your Champion the Nightmare drops to 5/8.

Similarly you can use attack buffs to also double, e.g. casting Nightmare + Cold Blood puts a 6/8 on board, which turns into a 12/8 the next turn.

As shown in the video @Rob provided, despite many strange occurences with Scaled Nightmare, it works with aura effects as I originally described.
