So I've read a few cards that say this and only just now notices while reading Hunt the Weak
It says specifically "Each deals damage equal to its power to the other"
So does a +1/+1 counter add to its power? Basically my question is do you use the power printed on the card, or the power that creature has in normal combat? And does trample have any effect to the player whose creature Im targeting if their creature can't take all the damage? Or is that only when a creature is blocking my creature
You are overthinking it. Two creatures fighting each other as result of a spell or ability means exactly what it says, and nothing more. Power and Toughness of a creature are always one certain value, namely the printed base value plus all applicable modifiers. Two creatures fighting each other is NOT combat, and combat-related abilities don't matter. The damage they deal to each other is NOT combat damage, but simply damage with the respective creature as the source.
