This reminds me of the tale of "Bolgri and the Long Day of Squashing."

Amazing for aggressive decks, especially Kuldotha Rebirth decks, and might even be worth playing in myr decks to give them something to actually cast on turn 1. Regardless, this is a very small investment for a great effect. A bit fragile, but without flying blockers, this is a huge threat for such a tiny spell.

Interesting in limited with equipment since he gets the evasion of flying without being targetable by spells that target flyers. Seems like it may be worth replacing a Memnite with one in certain decks, despite the higher cost.

@TheJones: No, Signal Pest does not power itself up. The total damage is 2 poison and 0 regular damage.
The original post is correct...

Just started Magic again recently. Newb question, I suppose.
Player declares an attack with Signal Pest and three other creatures. Opponent responds with a Path to Exile, exiling the Signal Pest. My question is: does the triggered +1/+0 still resolve, or does the spell hit beforehand?

@shizaquawn The answer to your question is yes. The Path to Exile will exile the Signal Pest before its Battle Cry resolves, AND it will give the +1/+0 boost to all of your attacking creatures. I would say it isn't such noob question considering some of the other people here didn't even know it.
112.7a Once activated or triggered, an ability exists on the stack independently of its source.
Destruction or removal of the source after that time won’t affect the ability.

I thought he was shooting a laser out of his mouth.
Then I found his real head.
Now I'm sad.

Does this mean Thermal Navigator is going to become typed as 'Pest'?
