If I play Lose Calm and I control Impact Tremors, does IT deal 1 damage?

Asked by Unknown1999 8 years ago

I was playing an opponent who had 5 health and I took control of his Shockmaw Dragon while I had Impact Tremors. He had no blockers. Would I have won?

No. There is only one battlefield, that you and your opponent share. The creature was already onto the battlefield - just not under your control.

Impact Tremors triggers when something enters the battlefield under your control, which is not the case here. Therefore, Impact Tremors won't trigger, and attacking with your opponent's Shockmaw Dragon will merely put them at 1 life.

No, it does not deal damage

Lose Calm does not cause creatures to leave or enter the battlefield. It only changes control of those creatures.
