Default Monster & Mate & Mommy = ?

I guess you can break it down to: is the mommy card an enhancer like a +5/+10 and therefore sticks with the monster (as one entity) or is it a second creature?

So:
A) 1x LVL 5 Monster, 1x LVL 5 Monster Mate, 1x LVL 15 Mommy - total: 25
or
B) (1x LVL 5 Monster, 1x LVL 15 Mommy) x2 because Mate - total: 40

Thanks,
V

Default Re: Monster & Mate & Mommy = ?

Mommy and Mate represent separate Monsters. Mommy doesn't duplicate a Monster's Mate, nor does Mate duplicate a Monster's Mommy.

So, the correct answer, given your scenario is 25 combat strength. Should there be any Monster Enhancers played to the Monster, then both the Mommy and the Mate will duplicate that bonus, of course.

Quick follow up: since the Mommy is a separate monster, can Mate be played on it, or only on the original monster?

Mommy is not a monster card, so I would rule that Mate cannot be played on that (and vice versa).

Makes perfect sense to me. Thanks!
