can I draw additional cards off of Psychosis Crawler if I draw a card while it's enchanted with Curiosity?

Asked by SwiftDeath 14 years ago

I know you can off of niv mizzet but the crawler uses loss of life where as a lumincarch-ascention considers loss of life as damage and doesn't allow you to put a counter on it. is it the same with the crawler so you can draw additional cards?

No. It's loss of life, not damage

Loss of life is what happens whenever your life total is reduced. Damage can CAUSE life loss, but is not life loss by itself. Curiosity specifically states "damage", so effects which directly cause life loss will not trigger it.

Side note: If it DID trigger, you would cause an infinite loop like Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind , just with life loss instead of damage.

Curiosity works better with cards like Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind

Almost infinite damage/draw combo :D

Also, another good niv-mizzet combo card is Snake Umbra . It gives totem armor too
