Rulings
4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2014-05-29
Once dethrone triggers, it doesn't matter what happens to the players' life totals before the ability resolves. You'll put a +1/+1 counter on the creature even if the defending player doesn't have the most life as the ability resolves.
- 2014-05-29
In a Two-Headed Giant game, dethrone will trigger if the creature attacks either player on the team with the most life or tied for the most life.
- 2014-05-29
The +1/+1 counter is put on the creature before blockers are declared.
- 2023-07-28
Dethrone doesn't trigger if the creature attacks a planeswalker, even if its controller has the most life. The same is true if the creature attacks a battle, even if its protector has the most life.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
