I was playing with a friend who has [Mogg Sentry](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Mogg%20Sentry) on the field I then play [Champion of the Parish](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Champion%20of%20the%20Parish) and [Vexing Devil](https://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Vexing%20Devil). Does Mogg Sentry become a 5/5 creature until end of turn or is it just a 3/3?
