What it does

Deathtouch

Whenever Aphelia attacks, you may pay 1B/G. If you do, create a 1/1 black Snake creature token with deathtouch.

4: Until end of turn, whenever one or more Gorgons and/or Snakes you control deal combat damage to a player, that player loses half their life, rounded up.

Combos with Aphelia, Viper Whisperer

Lines this card is part of — what it needs alongside it, and what the two of them do. An infinite result is the one that moves a deck's bracket.

Rulings

One official ruling, as Wizards published it.

  • 2024-11-08

    The triggered ability created by Aphelia's last ability triggers and resolves after combat damage is dealt. For example, if Gorgons and/or Snakes you control deal a total of 3 combat damage to a player with 12 life, combat damage will reduce that player's life total to 9. Then the triggered ability will cause the player to lose 5 life, leaving the player at 4.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
