Toxic Deluge vs Undying
Asked by K4nkato 11 months ago
My opponent casts Toxic Deluge with X and 3. Does Young Wolf die then come back stronger or does he die, come back and die again?

Young Wolf will get -3/-3 and die, then Undying will trigger, and Young Wolf will return to the battlefield with a +1/+1 counter, if it didn't have one when it died. The -X/-X from Toxic Deluge has no bearing on the Undying trigger whatsoever.

To be clear about what's going on here: if a resolving spell or ability creates an effect that changes the characteristics of objects on the battlefield (adding or removing abilities, increasing or reducing P/T, changing colors etc.) then the group of objects it applies to is locked in at the time it resolves. It won't affect anything that enters the battlefield later in the turn. That's why the Young Wolf brought back by Undying will stay alive, because Toxic Deluge isn't affecting it anymore.

*X at 3, thank you autocorrect.
