Master of Cruelties and interactions
Asked by xcontla 3 weeks ago
I have some questions with this card in some specific times.
I understand that the ability triggers in the declare blockers step.
- If Master of Cruelties gains skulk, Does his ability still trigger? ("... opponent life becomes 1").
- If I equipped some artifact that made Master of Cruelties unblockable, Does his ability still trigger? ("... opponent life becomes 1").
- If the opponent doesn't have creatures in the battlefield, Does his ability still trigger? ("... opponent life becomes 1").
Thank you.

Yes, it still triggers. The declare blockers step of combat only gets skipped if there were no creatures declared as attackers or put onto the battlefield attacking. Otherwise, it always happens, even if it is impossible for any blockers to be declared. If Master of Cruelties is attacking then there will definitely be a declare blockers step and its last ability will trigger if it doesn't get blocked.
