If Void Seeker is played on Darius (reducing him to 1 Life), then Smoke Screen is played (reducing Might to 1), does Darius die?
Ruling: Yes, Darius dies. Void Seeker deals 4 damage to Darius, then Smoke Screen reduces his Might to 1. Since the damage marked (4) is greater than or equal to his Might (1), Darius dies in the cleanup.
Sequence:
- Darius starts at 5 Might
- Void Seeker is played, dealing 4 damage (Darius is now 5 Might with 4 damage marked)
- Smoke Screen is played, reducing Might to 1 (Darius is now 1 Might with 4 damage marked)
- Damage marked (4) ≥ Might (1), so Darius dies in cleanup
Nuances:
- "Life" is not a useful concept in this game; the relevant mechanics are damage marked and Might
- Might and Life are separate concepts, but damage comparison happens against Might
