killing an indestructible creature ruling help
Asked by sabba5600 9 years ago
I got in a small argument on how this works and for the sake of my pride I want to get a ruling on it.
say there is a 3/3 indestructible creature on the field, it takes 1 damage from a Goblin Sharpshooter and then the card Drown in Sorrow is played. Does the Indestructible creature die?

No. A creature will die if it's toughness reaches 0. Doing damage to a creature does not lower its toughness... it just marks damage on it. If the creature were not indestructible, then yeah. It would die. If the indestructible creature were to somehow lose indestructible after the drown in sorrow was played, it would die.

No. It is still a 1/1 indestructible creature.
You'd need to remove indestructible in this instance for it to die.
Also, ask this sort of thing in the MTG Q&A up top.
