so going on a limb...
i have a victory viper, and a option token.
if i were to increase my viper's atk via axe of despair or any other targetting spell/trap/effect, the token's atk would increase as well.
thus, if my opponent were to divine wrath my token's atk adjustment, the original viper would be destroyed (as it is the one giving the viper token the effect of matching the original viper's stats), and thusly, both viper and token are destroyed, right?
