Which damage gets prevented?
So in a game of @mtg@mtgzone.com the other day, my enemy attacked with Mons’s Goblin Raiders and Ghyrson. Which would normally deal four damage total then two more from Ghyrson. But I had played a Bandage, preventing “the next” damage. If that next damage is the one from the Goblins, I don’t get the extra Ghyrson damage, so that’s why it matters.
There was no first strike in this particular situation.
@lovestha @Sandra @mtg Right, this is just a bit of a funny one in that there’s only one prevention effect, but multiple things it could apply to, instead of multiple effects applying to the same thing.
It makes sense a similar design philosophy holds in both cases, but without there being a separate 615.7, I’m not sure how you’d resolve the goblins + Ghyrson + Bandage example.
@xgranade @Sandra @mtg you wouldn’t, and there are *many* similar interactions, so having a solid reference isn’t surprising.
@xgranade @Sandra @mtg that unded like i’m impjying you are shocked there is an answer.
I’m not, i’m just tired after driving home after an excellent weekend of judging. Good night (before i imply more things i don’t mean)
@lovestha @Sandra @mtg I didn’t read it that way at all, it’s helpful context, thank you! I’m absolutely not a judge, so I appreciate learning more about!
