Static effects, blocking, and the removal of those static effects.

Asked by NonetheWeisser 6 months ago

Might be a silly question, but it was relevant during a game I played the other day.

I declare attackers

My opponent declares blockers

They have a lord on their field. (Standard +1 /+1 to creatures of the same type)

If I kill the lord after blockers have been declared, does the damage their creatures would deal decrease, or does it remain the same because of timing?

If the lord is killed before combat damage is dealt, then those creatures will no longer be getting its +1/+1 buff. And so will not gain that benefit when resolving damage.
