So what you're saying is, the creature should die in pretty much any scenario? Then there is definitely a bug with Thraben Doomsayer. Has anybody else witnessed this bug?RiiakShiNal wrote:Actually, according to your scenario and the rules the 2/2 creature receives damage at the same moment that the player does and dies before Thraben Doomsayer's continuous ability can kick in (since combat damage from attacking creatures is dealt simultaneously if you exclude first/double strike) so it never becomes 4/4 (regardless of damage).
If, however, the player goes to 5 or less life (but hasn't lost/died) due to say a fast effect during combat (or due to a creature with first/double strike). The fast effect would occur first then 2/2 creature would become 4/4 (due to Thraben Doomsayer) then combat damage would be dealt to the 4/4 creature which would then take the full 99 damage and die (since there is no trample).
If trample is taken into account from the 99/99 attacking creature then in the original scenario the 2/2 creature would take 2 damage and die with 97 going to the player, in the fast effect (or first/double strike) scenario the blocking creature would take 4 damage and die with 95 damage going to the player.
