If a unit is reduced to 1 Might by Smoke Screen (which prevents reduction below 1), then a buff is removed from it, can it go to 0 Might or does Smoke Screen keep it at 1?
Ruling: The unit can go to 0 Might. Smoke Screen's limitation only applies at the time it is played and "snapshots" the reduction magnitude at that moment. After Smoke Screen resolves, other effects can reduce the unit below 1 Might.
Sequence:
- Smoke Screen reduces the unit's Might and snapshots the reduction at the limited amount (to 1 Might minimum)
- When the buff is later removed, the unit's Might can drop below 1 (to 0 in this case)
- The unit survives at 0 Might because 0 Might only kills units if they have damage marked equal to or exceeding their Might
Nuances:
- Smoke Screen's "cannot be reduced below 1" text only limits the magnitude of Smoke Screen's own effect when it resolves, not future Might changes
- A unit at 0 Might with no damage marked on it does not die
