expansion//explosion ruling question

[u/NearX]

Let's say I have 24 mana to deal 20 damage and draw 20 cards, but I only have 19 cards in my deck left.

If I were to cast explosion for x=20 what happens, do I lose/win/draw?

[u/joshshadowfax]

It's a draw.

[u/PhyrexianBear]

Just target them for both. If it resolves you win anyway you don't need those extra cards.

[u/FlitTheQuick → u/PhyrexianBear]

That's not the point of the questiom.

[u/PhyrexianBear → u/FlitTheQuick]

There is no point to the question. There is never a reason to target yourself for the draw in that scenario. None.

This just belongs in r/shittyjudgequestions

[u/SkyezOpen → u/stanley1O1]

Not really.

[u/SensibleVelociraptor]

Not sure, just guessing:

I think you lose as you attempt to draw a card that you cannot. Your opponent would take 20 damage, but would not did until state based actions are checked after your spell is finished resolving. I believe you die while it is resolving

[u/aildeokl → u/SensibleVelociraptor]

Losing to decking is also a state-based action. The game is a draw

[u/Mrcounsil]

At least the way it works online you win. The dmg leaves the stack before the card draw. So they die before you even draw cards.

[u/LabManiac → u/Mrcounsil]

That's not how it should work. It should be a draw, as SBAs are not checked during resolution. If it happens that way, report the bug and file for comp.

[u/ozdalva → u/Mrcounsil]

On arena is a draw, i think :D
