Aegar, the Freezing Flame Rulings
- Apr 14, 2023 Aegar's ability won't trigger when a battle is dealt excess damage. It's not his fault. They didn't exist yet.
- Feb 5, 2021 A creature has been dealt excess damage if one or more sources deal more damage to it than the minimum amount of damage required to be lethal damage. In most cases, this means damage greater than its toughness, but consider the damage already dealt to it that turn.
- Feb 5, 2021 A planeswalker is dealt excess damage if it's dealt damage greater than its current loyalty.
- Feb 5, 2021 Even 1 damage dealt to a creature from a source with deathtouch is considered lethal damage, so any amount greater than that will cause excess damage to be dealt, even if the total amount of damage isn't greater than the creature's toughness. Note that a source of damage having deathtouch has no effect on damage dealt to planeswalkers.
- Feb 5, 2021 If a permanent is both a creature and a planeswalker, the minimum amount of damage to be considered lethal damage is used to determine if excess damage has been dealt. For example, if a 5/5 creature that's also a planeswalker with three loyalty counters on it is dealt 4 damage, it's been dealt 1 excess damage and Aegar's ability may trigger.
