Hallowed Priest triggers during combat
Asked by magiceli 5 years ago
I was playing on mtga and my opponent attacked in with a 2/2 Hallowed Priest and some big Baneslayer Angel . I blocked his Hallowed Priest with a 1/3 Dawnbringer Cleric thinking that although the angel had lifelink all the damage would happen at the same time and the priest would still be a 2/2 when he hit my cleric. However, mtga showed me the angel hitting my face, lifegain, then the priest bumping up to a 3/3 to kill my cleric. Is this an error with mtga or does damage go sequentially like that? If it does, who decides the order that it goes in? Thanks for answers.

This interaction is due to Baneslayer Angel 's first strike ability. Easy to miss among all those other words!
