Other effects that are affecting its power and/or toughness, including +1/+1 counters and the effects of spells like Giant Growth, will continue to apply

The tutors are particularly powerful in conjunction with cantrips like Opt or Expedite, which allow you to draw that card for one more mana
The deck also benefits from the reprint Fire & Ice and features multiple Throne of Eldraine adventure cards to circumvent the cascade mana cost restriction
