In a showdown, is damage checked against might after each spell resolves, or only after the entire chain resolves?

Ruling: Damage is checked against might after each item in the chain resolves during a showdown, not after the entire chain completes.

Sequence:

  • Each spell/effect resolves individually
  • After each resolution, cleanup occurs (damage is checked against might)
  • If a unit takes damage equal to or greater than its might, it dies before the next item in the chain resolves

Nuances:

  • This follows the normal cleanup rules that apply during the showdown phase of combat
