Official rulings

1 ruling · in English, source Scryfall

To find the difference between a creature’s power and its toughness, subtract the smaller of those two numbers from the larger one. For example, the difference between the power and toughness of a 3/5 creature is 2. The difference between the power and toughness of a 5/3 creature is also 2.
