the creature dies before the regen ability resolves Targets are declared when the ability goes on the stack so when the target is when the creature is targeted by the regen ability is still on the stack, horobri kill ability is above that. I would think that the creature would be targeted, die, then the ability would trigger and fizzleizzlezzlezlelee No, regens once and dies once: still alive Regenerate their creature and it dies, just as easy and a whole lot more ironic. The answer is you dont need the captive flame at all, just asceticism. They will die because the moment the cost is paid to regenerate the creature, the creature is destroy while the regenerate effect will kick in after the ability resolved but there is no creature to regenerate so it will have no regen effect. Wait, if you regeranted one of your creatures, wouldn't they die twice, then come back? 0.o With my luck it would be better just to put a Terminate in the deck. To protect your own guys and target theirs at the same time.Ĭombo needs something to go get the spirit too. I would consider this combo if it didn't put my own creatures at risk.

Why not use fireball for weak damage on every monster you want dead For all anyone cares, you could use Imagecrafter's ability! (Which would work just as well) You don't even need to do any damage to that creature to destroy it.

He taps to do 1 damage, creature dies, he untaps, rinse repeat. Instead of Captive Flame, how 'bout goblin sharpshooter. Repeat, and keep your opponent's creatures in the graveyard. The target creature will now be destroyed, due to Horobi, Death's Wail. Use Captive Flame to give target creature you want destroyed a +1/+0. Bring both Horobi and Captive Flame into play.
