Yes.

Long answer: Yes. Creatures with 0 toughness get put into the graveyard when state-based effects are checked, which is whenever a player would gain priority. So basically immediately after the Grasping Dunes ability resolves and puts a -1/-1 counter, your 1/0 dies.

e: Frank Karsten has brought us an important theoretical article: What happens if you put every creature into play at once?

Ok follow up. Does it also get sent to the graveyard when the attack is zero?

No, zero power creatures can sit around just fine. They just don't deal damage when attacking or blocking, among other things.

Nope, it'll just deal zero damage. It can still die if a creature with a power equal or greater than the 0 power creature's toughness blocks it.

This is how your posting feels.
🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥
You can even have creatures end up with negative power if they have enough penalties applied to them! Negative numbers are functionally zero for the purposes of doing damage (a creature with -2 power won't heal a player by attacking them, for instance), but it matters if another bonus tries to give them more power later or something.

One key note is that creatures with no power don't assign combat damage and thus don't count as having dealt damage for the purposes of effects that care about these things. Suppose you attacked your opponent with a 0 power creature enchanted with this card:


Even if your opponent didn't block, you wouldn't get to draw a card because it never did damage. Stuff like deathtouch works the same way.

So I can pay 6 for final judgement where looking at okagachi gets creatures exiled or I can play okagachi and get a bad vindicate on a creature.

Make kamigawa great again

Edit:. In my head I had okagachi on the same level as the three eldrazi Titans but this card seriously disappoints in that regard.

I could see 5 color dragons as a theme, but those all seem...just so bizarre and awful? Just...awful. Each of them.

Just, like what? Cat dragon? Why? Why is Okagachi not indestructible? And the Ur-Dragon looks like a card an over-enthusiastic 9-year old would design.

Cat-Dragons are actually an old mtg lore thing. And Okagachi is presumably not indestructible because this is after That Which Was Taken was stolen from him.

That said, 'if that player attacked you' wording makes me think this is pretty suss.

These seem fine for edh dragon decks and the first one is a completely reasonable card? What am I missing? idk don't play edh tho

In other news, this weekend in cube I managed to beat a near ultimate JtMS and Elspeth Sun's Champ by taking a soldier token with v shackles, tapping it with opposition to tap another one, sac it to greater gargadon, swing with goblin dark dwellers which had flashed back ancestral recall, over and over. The game alone lasted an hour and was incredibly sweet. In another game I blocked a dragonlord atarka with a reveillark, bringing back a phantasmal image cloning the dragonlord and shot atarka for the rest and a lotus cobra. Tons of other cool plays as well.

The first one is weird because Wizards is all about "resonance" and branding and since there's no pre-existing anything for cat dragons, it'd be weird as poo poo for them to bring it back now. Not impossible, but just bizarre. O-Kagachi breaks the traditional Kamigawa god-spirit mold by not having divinity counters or indestructible, on top of having an extremely weak effect and low stats for the cost. Again, not impossible, but super-weird. And finally, the Ur-Dragon is just a complete pile of abilities, including a keyworded version of Oloro's ability to affect things from the command zone, which makes sense, coupled with an absolutely bonkers card-advantage and battlefield advantage ability that might as well read "you win the game" because there's effectively no way for the opponent/s to make any kind of comeback from that. Again, not impossible, completely, but now we're three for three for cards that just don't seem right.

Now, don't get me wrong. If you'd shown me the partner commanders as a leak, I'd have thought those were fake as poo poo too, because of how utterly weak they were. I could very well be wrong here and those could all be real cards and spoilers. It's just not likely.

Edit: Also, I would submit "Wasitora, Nekoru Queen" as a candidate for worst loving name for a card in existance. It is 2/3rds made-up nonsense fantasy language and the whole card reads like bad fanfiction.

They don't seem to do three color tokens that often, the last time I could find was the Beast token from Shards of Alara, and that doesn't appear to have any outward sign of its colors.

Still not convinced though, that art looks super sketchy.

I ran cropped versions of the spoilers through GIS and saucenao, and got no hits. But GIS has become absolute trash lately and saucenao only looks at a limited selection of image boards, so if anyone has any other ideas I'm all ears.

Edit: Also, the cat token has an artist credit to Cynthia Sheppard, but the token itself doesn't really look like her style. But then, she's also never done anything "cutesy" before either, and the pic is blurry. I just really, really hope these are fake, at least with different rules text.

Okagachi not having divinity counters or indestructible is plausible because the whole reason the kami war started in the first place is because his source of both was stolen.

To be honest, the fact that these both have original art and are such a deep cut of weird mtg old-lore makes me think they're real. If someone had shown me Oloro before he was released I'd have been sceptical too. I kind of want them to be fake though because 'literally every multicoloured dragon stuffed into a pile' is not my idea of an ideal tribal precon.

It makes sense for them to jam tribes together for the tribal edh set just to hit a broader spectrum of players. And I'm pretty sure they think, rightly so, that a kamigawa callback doesn't need to follow the mechanics exactly. Re: pile of abilities see Samut; and yes the 9 drop is pretty damned good when you cast it and successfully attack with dragons.

Still not comprehending why these seem implausible considering we've had a couple weird commander sets recently and Wizards.
