Dreadhorde Butcher vs Bedeck
Asked by chosenone124 4 years ago
I have a Dreadhorde Butcher at 1/1. My opponent casts Bedeck / Bedazzle on it. Do they take 1 or 4 damage?
Rule 704.7 seems to imply that the last known information is 1 damage, but on Magic Arena when you do this it deals 4 damage so I'm not sure.
The reason dragonstryke58's answer is correct is because first the Bedeck / Bedazzle buff is applied, making it 4/-2. Then, when a player would next receive priority, state-based actions are checked, and due to having toughness of 0 or less, Dreadhorde Butcher is put into the graveyard. Its last-known information is of it having a power of 4, and that's why it will deal 4 damage.

Dreadhorde Butcher will deal 4 damage.
When Bedeck of Bedeck / Bedazzle resolves, Dreadhorde Butcher will be 4/-2 and put into the graveyard due to having toughness of 0 or less. It moving to the graveyard does not change the fact that when it died it had a power of 4 due to it gaining +3/-3. The last known information would show that it had a power of 4.
