Does Rakdos have to be on the battlefield for both abilities?
Asked by willybillychilly 12 years ago
If I deal 5 damage to an opponent, then cast Rakdos, Lord of Riots, can I still cast Thundermaw Hellkite for just RR even though I did the damage before Rakdos, Lord of Riots entered?
Yes, because Rakdos, Lord of Riots says life lost THIS TURN. Just because he wasn't on the battlefield yet doesn't mean the life wasn't lost this turn. So Yes you may. Thundermaw away. Awwww. A rhyme!

Yes you may, his ability states life lost by opponents this turn. So it does not matter if he was on the battlefield or not, they still have lost the life.
