Combat instants with Worldslayer and Prince of Thralls
Asked by Thatguyman 7 years ago
I came across a situation where I have Prince of Thralls manifested face down, equipped with Worldslayer, and an Essence Flux in my hand. Since blinking after blockers are declared would presumably unequip Worldslayer, would it be possible to blink Prince of Thralls between damage being dealt and Worldslayer wiping the board, so that Prince of Thralls will 'see' the result?

Thanks a bunch, and now I have a sudden urge to make a card wars mtg deck next.

But since Essence Flux has no delay between the blink out and the blink back in, wouldn't Worldslayer's activated ability still include it in the wipe?

I dont care if Prince gets wiped, and Id assume yes it would. However as long as I either do a bunch of damage or got the other players' permanents Id probably end up gaining enough of an advantage to make up for it. I was just worried that there was no way to have worldslayer trigger while he was face up to register it in that scenario.

Yeah, worldslayer's destruction is a triggered ability. You could wait for it to go on the stack, then Flux the prince (Floop the pig anyone?). This would happen in the combat damage step, after damage is dealt.
