Rulings

  • 2020-09-25

    If Taborax is dealt lethal damage at the same time as one or more nontoken creatures you control die or are dealt lethal damage, it won't receive a counter from its ability in time to save it.

  • 2020-09-25

    If another nontoken Cleric dies at the same time as Taborax, you won't put a +1/+1 counter on anything, but you may draw a card as its last ability resolves. You still lose 1 life if you do.
