What happens on a fight with a card with infect and another with equal or less power?

Asked by pedroedmarcos 1 year ago

Hey there,

So, let's say I control a Glistener Elf and I cast a Prey Upon on a 1/2 creature. Since the damage from glistener elf will be dealt with -1/-1 counters on creatures, the card will become a -1/1 creature once it takes damage. But will my glistener elf dies? I'm not sure how it works, but i assume the damage will be dealt at the same time and my creature will die before the other shrinks its power and thoughness.

Exactly as you expect :)

The "Fight" keyword reads as follow in the reminder text on other version on the same card you mention (Prey Upon): "Each deals damage equal to its power to the other". The damage is dealt simultaneously. So yes, your Elf fella will die, and the -1/-1 counter will be placed on the other creature at the same time, and it will be shirnked to 0/1 creature onwards.
