Hey guys, got a question about Commander damage. If I deal 21 damage to a player using my commander, does the damage carry over if they keep switching life totals due to card effects? Like, if I hit them down to 10 and they gain life back, does that reset my damage count? Just wanna clarify before heading to the Singapore Open next week. Thanks!
Eh, good question! The 21 damage is cumulative, so it doesn't reset with life gain. If you already dealt 21 damage from your commander, that player is considered to be 'dead' in terms of commander damage. Just make sure you keep track of it properly la! Also, maybe check with the judges at Games Haven just to be safe before the tournament.
Aiyoh, don't worry too much! Just remember, once you hit that 21 damage, it's locked in, even if they gain life later. I saw some players at Grey Ogre Games who had the same confusion before, but once they got it straight, their games improved a lot. Also, good luck at the Singapore Open! Hope you get some awesome matches in the sun!
Correct correct! Just to add, if you’re not sure during a game, always ask a judge right away at the event. At Malaysia Championships last year, there were some tricky rulings that came up, and the judges were super helpful. Make sure you enjoy the vibe there, and maybe check out some local food after the games, ah!
Hey there! Great question about Commander damage! Just to confirm, once you deal 21 damage to a player with your commander, that damage is tracked separately from their life total, so if they gain life later, it doesn’t reset your damage count. I remember a game at my local shop, Game Haven in Singapore, where my friend was confused about this at first. He dealt 21 damage to an opponent, who then gained life from a card effect but still lost the game because the commander damage was already established. Also, since you're heading to the Singapore Open, don't forget to stay hydrated and take breaks from the heat! The event is going to be buzzing, and it’s a perfect chance to meet fellow players. Good luck, and may your dice rolls be ever in your favor!
Hey there! That's a solid question about Commander damage! Just to clarify, once you hit someone with your commander and deal that 21 damage, it stays on them no matter what happens to their life total after. So if they gain life back from a card effect, it doesn't reset your damage count. I remember a game at my local spot in Singapore, Magic Circle, where my mate faced a similar situation. He dealt 21 damage, and despite his opponent gaining life from a lifegain spell, the damage was still counted, and he won the match! Also, since you're heading to the Singapore Open, make sure to stay cool in the heat and maybe grab some local snacks like chicken rice or laksa between rounds! It's a great event to meet other players and share some good vibes. Good luck, and may your games be exciting!
Hey there! Great question about Commander damage! Just to confirm, once you deal 21 damage to a player with your commander, that damage is tracked separately from their life total. So even if they gain life later, your damage count doesn’t reset. I remember playing at my local shop, MTG Arena in Singapore, where a friend faced a similar situation. He dealt 21 damage to an opponent, and even though they gained some life from a spell, the game still counted that commander damage, leading to his win. Since you're heading to the Singapore Open, don't forget to chill and enjoy some good local food like roti prata or Hainanese chicken rice between rounds! It's a fantastic opportunity to meet fellow players and just enjoy the games. Best of luck, and may your draws be fire!
