If I have two Guardian Angels attached to a unit and it dies, do both Guardian Angels die or just one?
According to the Riftbound FAQ (FAQ #1622), if a unit with two Guardian Angels equipped dies, only one Guardian Angel will be destroyed.
Reasoning:
- Replacement Effect: Guardian Angel's effect ("If I would die, kill Guardian Angel instead...") is a replacement effect.
- Single Application: When the unit would die, you choose one of the Guardian Angels to apply its replacement effect. Once that effect is applied, the unit is healed, exhausted, and recalled to the base.
- Death Prevented: Because the unit is recalled to the base, it never actually "dies." Since the death event has been replaced and prevented, the second Guardian Angel's trigger condition is no longer met, and it remains attached to the unit in the base.
This interaction is consistent with the rule that you can only replace the same death event once.
