Eternal of Harsh Truths Rulings

5 most recent
  • Jul 28, 2023 If a creature is attacking a planeswalker, that planeswalker's controller is the defending player. If a creature is attacking a battle, that battle's protector is the defending player.
  • Jul 14, 2017 Afflict causes the defending player to lose life; it's not damage or combat damage.
  • Jul 14, 2017 Afflict resolves before combat damage is dealt. If this loss of life brings a player to 0 life or less, that player loses the game immediately. A blocking creature with lifelink won't deal combat damage in time to save that player.
  • Jul 14, 2017 An ability that triggers when something "attacks and isn't blocked" triggers in the declare blockers step after blockers are declared if (1) that creature is attacking and (2) no creatures are declared to block it. It will trigger even if that creature was put onto the battlefield attacking rather than having been declared as an attacker in the declare attackers step.
  • Jul 14, 2017 If multiple creatures block a creature with afflict, afflict triggers only once.
