Mystik Wok, F/D Monster and modifiers

DarkLogicianOfCaos

Eschew Obfuscation
When Mystik Wok is used on your Face Down Monster, while you have a field ATK/DEF Modifier active, does your Monster get the modification. Example given:

Face Down Gravekeeper's Spy, while Necrovalley is active, tributed for Mystic Wok, choosing his DEF. Do you get +2000 LP or +2500 LP?

--Please forgive me if something similar was asked before, but I was reading an article, wherein the author said it would be +2500 LP, which confused me rather, as i thought the modifier would only kick in only when it was face up (but then again, a face down card isn't supposed to have a discernable ATK/DEF to select from and since it is "current" it is not activated in the graveyard, but there is no mention of flipping, or else its flip effect should also go off....do you see my cognative dissonance?). I searched COG, Judge's List, etc. but could not find anything.

Thanks.

Quick-Play Spell
Tribute 1 monster on your side of the field and select its ATK or DEF. Increase your Life Points by the same amount.

"¢ Tributing a monster for "Mystik Wok" is a cost, so you can Tribute "The Legendary Fisherman" or "The Agent of Force - Mars".
"¢ The ATK or DEF is the current number, not the original number.
"¢ You select ATK or DEF when "Mystik Wok" is activated.
"¢ You can Tribute face-down monsters, or your opponent's monster using "Soul Exchange".
"¢ [Re: Cyber Blader] Example 1: The opponent controls "Gemini Elf" and "Dark Magician". The opponent attacks with their "Dark Magician", attacking "Cyber Blader", whose ATK is currently doubled. The opponent activates "Mystik Wok" and Tributes their "Gemini Elf" to gain 1900 Life Points. "Cyber Blader" now has 2100 ATK points, so it does not destroy "Dark Magician", but since the opponent has only 1 monster now, "Cyber Blader" is not destroyed as a result of battle, either.
"¢ [Re: Peten the Dark Clown] If "Peten the Dark Clown" is Tributed for "Mystik Wok" or "Cannon Soldier", the last thing that happened was that those effects resolved, so the effect of "Peten" does not activate.
 
The closest thing I can think of at the moment is some discussion around the use of DDV with a set Fusilier the Dual Mode beast without its stats reset.

The ATK and DEF of the face down monster was checked at the point it hit the graveyard, at which point any modifiers were no longer applied and its "original attack" was verified as being 2800.

In the case here, the face down GK Spy would be tributed face down and you wouldn't get to "see" the value until it hit the graveyard, at which point it would be 2000 and be boosted accordingly.

When the Spy is face up, we know immediately upon activation what the ATK/DEF values are, so there is no issue.

Anybody else care to help on this one? Its tricky at timies.
