Scion + Master of Cruelties
Asked by DRACULA150704 6 years ago
I was wondering if I played Conspiracy chose the creature type dragon then attacked with the scion and a 1/1 human token. after my opponent declared no blocks I turn the scion into Master of Cruelties. Will my opponent die or not?
They will take 2 damage. If you instead declared the attack and turned Scion of the Ur-Dragon into Master of Cruelties, then they didn't block, that would kill them. Master of Cruelties ability triggers during the declare blockers step after blockers are declared just before any player receives priority, so in order for it to trigger it must already be on the battlefield in that form when blockers are declared.

Neotrup is correct. I misread when you transformed Scion.

Ok thanks- so I should transform Scion of the Ur-Dragon after attacks but before blocks?

If this connects, they will die.
This is a well known interaction between Alesha, Who Smiles at Death and Master of Cruelties. There isn't a significant difference between that and the Scion technique you mentioned.
