Interactions: Clutch of the Undercity
Asked by Upyron 5 years ago
Hi goblins how are you ? I have dilemma :) Clutch of the Undercity is considered a damage dealt when is triggering ? exemple: Pain Magnification will trigger his ability after use effectively Clutch of the Undercity
Thanks as always
Compare Clutch of the Undercity to Annihilating Fire .
Clutch of the Undercity says the player "loses 3 life." Annihilating Fire says "deals 3 damage."
Damage causes loss of life, but loss of life is not always caused by damage. It will specifically say "damage" if it means damage. Pain Magnification will not trigger from Clutch of the Undercity .

damage causes loss of life, whereas loss of life is not necessarily because of damage.
Clutch of the Undercity says the player “loses 3 life” which is not the same as “takes 3 damage”. It will not trigger effects that trigger off of damage being dealt.
