Description

According to the current rule: "Counters that adjust power and/or toughness affect Skullbriar’s power and/or toughness in zones other than the battlefield. For example, a Skullbriar in the command zone with a +1/+1 counter on it will be 2/2." In xmage his stats in other zones still display as 1/1 and other cards view him as 1/1 creature
Example: [[Alesha, Who Smiles at Death]] can return [[Skullbriar]] with 4 +1/+1 counters on him from graveyard , which she clearly shouldn't be able to do.

Research direction

Start by locating the Skullbriar and Alesha card implementations and the code that evaluates creature power and toughness outside the battlefield. Reproduce the reported graveyard interaction with Skullbriar carrying four +1/+1 counters; done means its zone-dependent stats are recognized so Alesha cannot return it when its adjusted toughness is too high.
