Barrowgoyf's power is equal to the number of card types among cards in all graveyards and its toughness is equal to that number plus 1.

Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may mill that many cards. If you do, you may put a creature card from among them into your hand.

Official rulings

  1. The ability that defines Barrowgoyf's power and toughness counts card types, not cards. If the only card in all graveyards is a single artifact creature card, Barrowgoyf will be a 2/3. If the cards in all graveyards are ten artifact cards and ten creature cards, Barrowgoyf will still be a 2/3. (2024-06-07)
  2. Card types that can appear on cards in a graveyard are artifact, battle, creature, enchantment, instant, kindred, land, planeswalker, and sorcery. Legendary, basic, and snow are supertypes, not card types; Lhurgoyf, Forest, and Siege are subtypes, not card types. (2024-06-07)
  3. The ability that defines Barrowgoyf's power and toughness works in all zones, not just the battlefield. (2024-06-07)
