Lolth, Spider Queen

Asked by proterran98 2 years ago

I use the -8 ability on Lolth, Spider Queen . The next turn I use the -8 ability again. If I hit my opponent with a 1/1. Does her ability cause 7 damage or 14?

The opponent would lose 7 additional life. Here's the process:

You deal 1 combat damage. Both emblems trigger, and it doesn't really matter how you stack them. The first one starts to resolve, and checks if the opponent has lost 8 life. They haven't, so it it finishes resolving and causes the opponent to lose 7 more life, for 8 total life lost. The second emblem starts to resolve, and makes its own check for 8 life loss. It sees that the requirement is met (the "if" clause), and doesn't require anymore life loss.

Then you go to end step and the fifty copies of Wound Reflection you somehow made all trigger and go nuts and you win. But that's not part of your question.
