Yes. There's no longer a "Damage Step" in combat, everything must be done in the During Blockers step now.

I thought that damage prevention effects acted differently or something like that. In any event, this all makes Anoint fairly useless in this situation, with the Roar adding another layer of complexity to the situation. I guess prior to the Roar I'd have chosen the Shinewend. And I guess that I have to put up the Regeneration shield now too. Curse all rule changes.

Going back in time, I'd have picked the Shinewend if forced to pick somebody, so in the interests of fairplay I'll target the Shinewend and Regenerate the Dead
 

Mooseman

Isengar Tussle
Just to see if I get this correct
Shinewend has anoint and dead has regen shield
Then you take 3
Shinewend takes 4 and wolves take 1 to die and unicorn bites it
i gain 2 life from the link
good so far?
