Diregraf Captain with Curiosity
Asked by swamp_water 13 years ago
If I put Curiosity on Diregraf Captain do I draw a card everytime a zombie I own dies?

As Nephilim stated, life loss is not damage, even though damage causes loss of life. Your opponent must actually be dealt damage for Curiosity's effect to trigger.

Another way to remember this is that infect deals damage, but does not cause a loss of life. Loss of life is often the result of damage, but damage is not loss of life and thus curiosity does will not trigger.

i think it would help you to understand if they used the key word curiosity is talking about combat damage thus the creature must hit the player whether unblocked or trampled over will make the ability trigger

Any damage dealt by the enchanted creature to an opponent will cause Curiosity to trigger, not just combat damage.
so yes it will trigger

@smokeylocc: Loss of life is not damage. Although Curiosity doesn't limit to only combat damage, it will not trigger from Diregraf Captain's ability. The wording on Curiosity allows cards such as Goblin Fireslinger to ping and draw.

The creature dealing damage is not always in combat but it will always say the creature does damage... i.e Livewire Lash, Surestrike Trident

How many cards do i draw if i attack with a Hellrider enchanted with Curiosity and two more creatures? 3 for 3 attacking creatures thanks to Hellrider's triggered ability and 1 more if he isn't blocked? Or does the ability only draw me 1 card?

Hellrider's ability triggers once for each creature you declare as an attacker. Each of these abilities is handled separately, so Curiosity's ability will trigger after each resolution of an instance of Hellrider's ability.
Hellrider dealing combat damage will also result in a Curiosity trigger.

i... don't think so. Captain causes life loss, which i think is different than damage. if captain said "~ deals 1 damage to target opponent." it would
