Godhead of Awe

it makes all OTHER creatures 1/1

but what if the cards have counters on them ?

All creature become BASE 1/1's. What I mean by that is that if a creature has 3 +1/+1 counters on it, it would be a 4/4. Same for if it had an enchantment on it that gave it +3/+3. Ditto with global/local enchantments that give pumps.

If i have Godhead, after that I play Crovax, my white creatures will be 2/2, Godhead 5/5, Crovax 1/1, but what will happen if i first play crovax and than godhead? Will creatures be 1/1 instead of 2/2? Does the ability of godhead apply in same layer as Crovax's ?

As the other person stated. Godhead is only directed at thier base creature stats and Crovax is a global effect, so Godhead would reduce all base stats, all other whites would still get the +/+.

It doesn't matter if it's a 'global effect' or not (and officially, the term no longer exists).

Godhead of Awe will override every other boost except for two things: counters and static abilities that give a P/T boost. Those two are always applied after the P/T is set. Crovax, Ascendant Hero has static abilities, so its abilities are applied after the P/T is set by Godhead. This also means it kills all nonwhite creatures.

All other abilities are applied in timestamp order. So if you first play the Godhead and let it resolve and then play Giant Growth the Growth will 'count'. Other way around and it is overwritten.

simple answer:

the Power/Toughness printed on cards is now 1/1

another question:

goyf is now a 1/1 suck card? Smile

And what if I play Crovax first, not Godhead? Does Godhead's ability overwrite Crovax's? Can timestamp order be used in this situation?

The Crovax isn't affecting base stats, so even if the Crovax was in play first, it's abilities would still be in effect.

The order you play them in only matters if they apply in the same layer.

Counters and static abilities that boost P/T are in a later layer than the P/T setting abilities. So the order doesn't matter, they are always applied later.

The order of Crovax and the Godhead thus doesn't matter.
