Magic the Gathering: Wilt-Leaf Leige?

Question

My opponent has a Wilt-Leaf Leige in play and a Rhys the Redeemed. Rhys is now a 3/3 because of the Leige's ability. I attack with a 4/4 and a 2/2. My oppenent blocks the 4/4 with the Leige and he blocks the 2/2 with Rhys. Both my creatures die. The Leige dies. Does Rhys die? I assume that he does. He will have two damage on him from my 2/2 and when the Leige goes into the graveyard, he will lose +2/+2 and become a 1/1. Is this correct?

Answer 1

Yes you are right. The Liege will die first, since it received lethal damage. As soon as the Liege leaves play, State based effects will check Rhys power/toughness. With the Liege no longer in play, Rhys will not get the bonus and become a 1/1 with 2 damage dealt. Then Rhys will go to the graveyard inmediatly.

All of this will happen almost inmediatly.

Answer 2

yes, u are 101% correct!

Answer 3

That would be correct sir.  As long as the Leige is in play, Rhys will be 3/3.  After the damage resolution stage, the Leige will have 4 damage to it, killing it and Rhys will have 2 damage to it.  Once the Leige leaves play, all modifiers it brought are now gone, therefore turning Rhys back to a 1/1 with 2 damage against it, killing it.  Why he just didn't make a token and use that to block, I'll never know.

Answer 4

You are correct. You attack with a 4/4 and a 2/2. He blocks with liege and with Rhys, respectively. After the damage step, both the Liege and the 4/4 will have 4 damage on them. Your 2/2 will have 3 damage on him, and Rhys has 2 as well. When the game checks for damages, every creature except Rhys is moved to the graveyard because of lethal damage. Then, without the liege, Rhys will be a 1/1 with two damage on it, and head for the graveyard as well.

Hope that helped.
