    An ability that triggers when a creature becomes monstrous won't trigger if that creature isn't on the battlefield when its monstrosity ability resolves.

  • WotCSep 15, 2013

    Monstrous isn't an ability that a creature has. It's just something true about that creature. If the creature stops being a creature or loses its abilities, it will continue to be monstrous.

  • WotCSep 15, 2013

    Once a creature becomes monstrous, it can't become monstrous again. If the creature is already monstrous when the monstrosity ability resolves, nothing happens.

  • WotCSep 15, 2013

    The effect making the land an Island doesn't have a duration and will last indefinitely. The land retains any land types and abilities it already had. An Island has the ability “{T}: Add {U}.”
