1. If you have a monster equipped with Megamorph (while you LP are lower than your opponent's) and you equip your Axe of Despair to the monster, it's ATK will be <Original ATK * 2 + 1000>.
2. And what happens if you activate Shrink on a monster equipped with Megamorph (while your LP are lower than your opponent's)?
Answers:
1. Correct. "Megamorph" would double the original ATK of the equipped monster to create a new current ATK and then this value would be increased by 1000 due to "Axe of Despair's" effect.
When an effect modifies, doubles, or halves the original ATK of a monster, you must apply this first. After calculating this value (the monster's new current ATK), any gains or losses (increases of decreases) to the monster's ATK are applied to the calculated value.
EX: "Cyber Dragon" equipped with the "Megamorph" would have its 2100 original ATK doubled to create a new current ATK of 4200. This value is further increased by 1000 due to "Axe of Despair", for a total of 5200.
2. "The effect of "Shrink" works like "Megamorph", setting a new current ATK based on original ATK. If the same monster is targeted by both "Shrink" and "Megamorph", only the effect of the card that resolved last will be applied."
"Megamorph" is doubling the original ATK, but a new effect (Shrink) comes along and halves the original ATK. Since "Shrink" is the effect that resolved last, only it will be applied.
