  • 2006-09-25 Activating the ability creates a continuous effect that works only as long as Giant Oyster remains tapped, a repeating delayed triggered ability that's in effect only as long as Giant Oyster remains tapped, and a delayed triggered ability that triggers when Giant Oyster untaps or when it leaves the battlefield.
  • 2006-09-25 Giant Oyster's ability can be activated during your upkeep, and the creature will get a -1/-1 counter during the draw step that follows it.
