Max_Hammer on When does Heartless Hidetsugu check …

1 year ago

Let's say my opponent is at 8 life. If I have the aforementioned Heartless Hidetsugu and tap him, holding priority, and then, to use a card relevant to most metas, Rhystic Lightning them. They take 4 damage, going down to 4, but does Heartless Hidetsugu's ability then deal 4 damage or 2?

TLDR; Does he check life total upon activation or upon resolve?

If the answer to above question is upon activation, can I double tap an opponent by activating Heartless Hidetsugu, untapping him via Patriar's Seal or some equivalent ability, tap him again, and deal their life half their life total twice (assuming they're at an even life total)?
