Deathtouch, lifelink Barrowgoyf's power is equal to the number of card types among cards in all graveyards and its toughness is equal to that number plus 1. Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may mill that many cards. If you do, you may put a creature card from among them into your hand.

If the cards in all graveyards are ten artifact cards and ten creature cards, Barrowgoyf will still be a 2/3.
