Do rite of passage counter land on lethal

Asked by TwinStags 5 years ago

Alright, so working on a Skullbriar, the Walking Grave deck. If a creature(Skullboi specifically) was to die, would Rite of Passage counters still land before it shipped off?

No, Rite of Passage has a triggered ability. Triggered abilities go on the stack and wait to resolve. A creature dying to damage is a state-based action. SBAs are checked and performed each time before a player would receive priority. The creature dies and is a different game object than the one that took damage before the trigger resolves and therefore gets no counters.
