indestructible vs infect
Asked by Justarsaus 14 years ago
lets say i have two Knight Exemplar out and my foe has an icorclaw-myr and Hand of the Praetors out he/she swings with icorclaw, and i block with one of my knights does my knight die because of the -1/-1 counters or does the indestructible ignore the damage from the myr?

One correction on DizzyDude. The creature would not be "destroyed" because indestructible creatures can not be "destroyed." A creature with a toughness of 0 would simply be put into the graveyard because it would cease to exist.

an indestructible creature still takes damage(indestructible creatures normally dont go to the graveyard due to lethal damage excluding wither/infect) so it would still get -1/-1 counters and as posted above if the indestructible creatures toughness equals 0 it is put into the graveyard because it ceases to exist

To be honest, Ichorclaw Myr being a 4/4 attacking with infect would just own most things...
the knight would do first strike, then die to the 4 -1/-1 counters that would put the knight onto -1/-1 (Oddly enough statically your creature will be dead at this point).
So yeah, DizzyDude is almost completely correct :)

no need for any of your knights to die - just block with them both - Ichorclaw Myr only gets the +2/+2 once, no matter how many creatures block it, so your 2 Knight Exemplar s would first strike and kill the Ichorclaw Myr
but that being said, yes infect kills indestructible creatures quite well.

The infect gives -1/-1 tokens on a creature, so if the indestructible creatures get enough to make the toughness 0, they would be destroyed.
