If I use Void Seeker to deal 4 damage to a 7 might unit, then use Smoke Screen to reduce it by 4 might, does the unit die?
Ruling: Yes, the unit will die during the next cleanup when the game checks if damage marked on it is greater than or equal to its might.
Sequence:
- Apply Void Seeker (4 damage) and Smoke Screen (-4 might) in either order
- During the next cleanup, the game checks if damage ≥ might
- The unit dies (4 damage ≥ 3 might)
Nuances:
- The order of applying damage and might reduction generally doesn't matter, as long as damage isn't healed between application and cleanup
- Order only matters for "when you kill with a spell" triggers: Smoke Screen first then damage counts as a spell kill, but damage first then Smoke Screen does not count as a spell kill
