Polis Crusher and enchantments after combat?
Asked by Mafagafo 9 years ago
What happen when a player declare a Polis Crusher with monstrosity and a Nemesis of Mortals as attackers, and then the other player declare a Hired Torturer enchanted with a Divine Favor to deffend the Nemesis of Mortals and Cloud Crusader to deffend the Polis Crusher. The Crusader dies, and the Torturer stays with 1 toughnes. Then the ability of the Polis Crusher end up removing the enchantment from the Torturer. Will the Hired Torturer die?
Thank you so the Polis Crshuer's ability is triggered at the same time as all combat damage right? Thank you so much.

Hey but what if I removed the enchantment with a Naturalize after the combat turn? Don't know if I can edit my posts.

All combat damage is dealt at the same time, yes (besides first-strike combat damage, which is a different step).

No, you can't edit here. Yes this sucks.
That's effectively what you're doing with the Polis Crusher in the first question. The outcome is the same: the Divine Favor is destroyed and the Hired Torturer dies immediately after.

Yes, it'll die.
Damage does not reduce a creature's toughness, it's just a value marked on the creature. The Hired Torturer's toughness will be 3 after the Divine Favor is destroyed and 5 damage marked on it, so it will go to the graveyard as a state-based action for having more damage marked on it than its toughness.
