what happens when a creatures toughness is lowered after damage is taken?
Asked by AgileFlame 4 years ago
so i had a 9/9 Westvale Cult Leader that took two damage in an attack. all but two creatures died ( Westvale Cult Leader and one other stay alive) bringing the cult leader's toughness down to two. Does Westvale Cult Leader die after it's base toughness is lowered post damage?

Damage remains marked on a creature until the clean-up step (after the end step). The SBA that destroys creatures for having damage marked on them equal to or greater than their toughness will see that Westvale Cult Leader is a 2/2 with 2 damage marked on it and will destroy it.
