If my opponent has 2 units and I attack with one unit, and they use Imperial Decree, can I still kill both of their units if I have enough Might, or does my unit die instantly?
Ruling: Imperial Decree does not activate until the dealing damage step. Damage is assigned (attacker first, then defender) and then all damage is dealt simultaneously, at which point Imperial Decree triggers.
Sequence:
- Attacker assigns damage to defending units
- Defender assigns damage back
- All damage is dealt simultaneously
- Imperial Decree effect applies
Nuances:
- If the attacking unit has enough Might to kill all defending units, they will all die simultaneously along with the attacker
- Imperial Decree only triggers earlier if direct damage is dealt before the normal damage step
