Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2020-08-07
Because damage remains marked on a creature until the damage is removed as the turn ends, nonlethal damage dealt to artifact creatures you control may become lethal if Tempered Steel leaves the battlefield during that turn.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
