Does Defang prevent the General's damage?

Asked by PagHimself 6 years ago

If I put Defang on an opponent's general, will he be able to win from the 21 damage points required to win by general's damage or it is the damage untracked?

Defang says "Prevent all damage that would be dealt by enchanted creature." Damage that is prevented is not dealt, so there's no Commander damage to be tracked.

No. A commander has to deal damage in order for it to count as commander damage. An important note is that the damage doesn't have to cause loss of life, so effects like Platinum Emperion, Worship, or Glistening Oil won't stop it from being commander damage, but things like Defang, Fog, or Spires of Orazca will.
