If Falling Star deals damage to a unit with 3 HP left, then Thousand-Tailed is played afterward (same turn), does that unit die?

Ruling: Yes, the unit dies. When Thousand-Tailed reduces the unit's might while it still has damage marked from Falling Star, the damage can exceed the reduced might total, causing the unit to die.

Sequence:

  • Falling Star deals damage to a unit (leaving it with 3 HP remaining)
  • The unit has 6 might and 3 damage marked on it
  • Thousand-Tailed is played, reducing the unit to 3 might
  • The unit now has 3 might and 3 damage marked, causing it to die

Nuances:

  • This only works if both cards are played in the same turn with no combat in between, otherwise the damage would be healed
