Corrupt and Leyline of Punishment
Asked by drhumbra 14 years ago
While playing a multiplayer game last night, I was hit with Corrupt and had a Leyline of Punishment out. The corrupt reduced my life total to less 0, putting me out of the game, but there were still 2 players left.
The question is, does the player who cast corrupt gain life because when I reach 0 life, the leyline of punishment is no longer active?
We ended up rolling a die to determine outcome, but all agreed that the corrupt could deal the damage and make me lose. But since it deals damage and gains life, we were unclear if this all happened at the same time, allowing the player who cast the spell to gain that life because I had lost as a result of damage.
Just curios on this, thanks for the help.
To be more specific player death is checked as a state-based event the next time a player has priority.
While your Corrupt resolves no player has priority so your opponent is not actually dead until the Corrupt completely resolves. So the life-gain part of spell is still prevented by Leyline of Punishment

Pretty sure that both parts of the Corrupt ability occur at the same time, so while damage was being dealt Leyline of Punishment is still in effect so the life gain is still prevented.
