Rulings

From the Super Slam release notes

Small Problem’s first ability generates a conditional continuous effect that is always checking. If it has less than or equal to its base and then later it has greater than its base, this will get +1.
If Small Problem’s effect is not self-sustaining. If it has power greater than its base from an effect (e.g. +3), then another effect reduces its power by the same amount (e.g. -3), then Small Problem will lose the +1 from its own effect.
Small Problem’s abilities are not functional while defending.
If Small Problem’s is less than or equal to its base , then later it has greater than its base during the damage step and causes the if-conditional effect to become active, Short Shrift gets the +1, but the damage will not be recalculated.
Small Problem’s second ability is a Crush ability that triggers when it deals 4 or more damage to a hero. You destroy an aura of your choice that hero controls when that triggered effect resolves. This can include those that are currently defending on the combat chain.
