a situation arose recently...
i had a Master Healer in play.
my opponent had a couple of different creatures on the board, one of
them was equipped with a Specters Shroud, one of them was a Thieving
Magpie.
when he declared his attack, i announced that i would use the Master
Healer.
so how does damage prevention work in regards to triggered effects due
to combat damage?
i understand that it my opponent was dealing damage equal to or less
than the amount of damage that i prvent them no damage is done, and
therefore none of the triggered effects take place... but lets's say
that he was doing 6 damage, with 4 creatures.
do i (as the defending player) get to decide what order the damage is
being done to me, or does the attacking player make that call?
if you were being attacked by 4 creature for 2 points of damage each
(total 8) can you choose to prevent 1 damage from each creature?
we got a reply from Wizards on this that was pretty ambigous, so i
really do appreciate you guys taking the time to help me out with this.
i'm sure that it's a Priority issue, and i'm very much looking forward
to seeing the outcome...
