How it works : Marchesa's Smuggler
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Dethrone doesn't trigger if the creature attacks a planeswalker, even if its controller has the most life. The same is true if the creature attacks a battle, even if its protector has the most life.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
Once dethrone triggers, it doesn't matter what happens to the players' life totals before the ability resolves. You'll put a +1/+1 counter on the creature even if the defending player doesn't have the most life as the ability resolves.
No other card is named in this ruling.
