Maul and Last Resort

[Fizz 986]

Well, technically, Maul cannot be defeated unless he has *resolved* an activation.

So wouldn't the timing be:

- Maul has not yet activated.
- Maul suffers 12/12 damage.
- Last Resort trigger condition met.
- Last Resort depleted.
- Last Resort "before" effect cannot yet resolve, stays in limbo.
- Maul Activates
- Maul's activation completes, Last Resort "before defeated" effect triggers.
- Last Resort triggers.
- Maul is defeated.

I don't think you can have pending effects without them being explicit. If Last Resort triggers (and you want to use it), you need to resolve it before the game can continue.

I think in this situation, we're going to have to because Maul is a special case. Otherwise, Last Resort would have no effect on Maul.

Todd already ruled that resolving Last Resort when it is triggered counts as "before being defeated".

(Or that's how I read the reply on the first page.)

I read it that way too.
