and the opponent has a 6/6 creature and blocks the imperious perfect, do the creatures still get the bonus from imperious when dealing damage???

  1. I think

    please answer my mtg question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...


  2. basically your 1/1 creatures jump up to 2/2 unitl the imperious perfect dies.

    your opponet will loose 2 only though because your perfect dies wich gives your other two cards no power supply.

  3. Here's how it works:

    you have 2 1/1 creatures and a 2/2.  However, the Imperious Prefect makes your other 2 elves into 2/2 creatures.  You attack.  He blocks the Imperious with his big creature.  Damage is on the stack, so assuming nothing else happens, you deal 2 to his 6/6 and simultaneously deal 4 to hiom with the Llanowar and the Essence Warden. Your Imperious dies at end of combat and as it does, the other 2 elves become 1/1 again. If they had been blocked and taken 1 point of damage, they would then die also.

    Now, if your opponent's creature had first strike, it would kill the IE before other damage was on the stack, and you would have had 2 1/1 elves to do damage to him with.

  4. Yes, your opponent will still get 4 damage (2 from warden, 2 form llanowar elf).

    The combat phase in magic has several steps (remember you can play instants or abilities at the end of each step). Here is what happens at a glance:

    COMBAT PHASE

    * Begin combat step

    * Declare attackers step

    * Declare blockers step

    * Damage on the stack step

    * End of combat step

    If your Imperious Perfect gets destroyed In any step before Damage on the stack step, then the bonus will go away and your other elves will shrink.

    In your example, the Imperious Perfect gets blocked by a 6/6, and destroyed for the combat damage, so it survived until the damage on the stack step. Once damage is on the stack, it doesn't matter what happens to the creatures, the damage will be done. On your example, we have 2 points of damage for each elf (perfect, warden, llanowar) and 6 points (from a 6/6, blocking the perfect). The perfect takes lethal damage. The other elves shrink, but they already put 2 damage each on the stack, so the defending player will take 4.

    Good Luck
