If a unit with 4 might has 3 damage marked on it, and then Stupify reduces its might by 1, does the unit die?
Ruling: Yes, the unit dies. The game tracks might and marked damage separately. When Stupify reduces the unit from 4 might to 3 might while it has 3 marked damage, the unit will die during the next cleanup because marked damage equals might.
Sequence:
- Unit has 4 might with 3 marked damage
- Stupify resolves, reducing might by 1 (now 3 might, 3 marked damage)
- Cleanup occurs after the spell resolves from the chain
- Game checks if marked damage is equal to or greater than might
- Unit dies because 3 marked damage equals 3 might
Nuances:
- Cleanup occurs every time something is removed from the chain, not just at the end of the entire chain
- Damage is marked and remains constant; it's checked against the current might value during each cleanup
