Regeneration, and Tragic Slip
General forum
Posted on Nov. 2, 2012, 10:39 a.m. by TorrentFreak
I have run into this problem where a guy running Lotleth Troll would cast regenerate in response to me casting a tragic slip on his troll. I thought that tragic slip will reduce the creatures toughness to 0, and the creature would be unable to regenerate. Please let me know if I have this wrong.

He can activate the regeneration ability, but you are correct in assuming that it does nothing, and his creature still dies.

If, however, he discarded a creature card in response his lotleth troll would get a +1/+1 counter on it and saving his troll from the -1/-1 of your tragic slip assuming of course morbid had not been activated that turn.

When a creature CAN be regenerated
When a card deals damage, you can regenerate the creature that got dealt damage.
With any destroy effect.
When a creature CAN'T be regenerated
When a creature gets 0 Toughness, it is sent to the graveyard as a state-based effect.
When a creature is returned to the hand of the controller/player/...
When a creature is already in the graveyard. You can't use regeneration to rise the creatures from death, only to prevent it.
When a card says it can't be regenerated.
When a creature is sacrificed
