Not sure how the Magic stack works, does that ability go into effect before damage is dealt?

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

Yes. Combat is broken down into sub-stages:

  1. start combat
  2. declare attackers
  3. declare blockers
  4. damage

The ability triggers during the declare attackers step and must resolve before blockers are declared.

Yeah, the reason for that effect beside being able to fit the number is so that you can safely attack it, making it somewhat less broken than it appears.
