Death's Shadow

[TheWhiteDragon]

So, I think I know the answer to this, and my gut is that it is the same state-based check that applies to the "bolted 2/3 tarmo becoming 3/4 before the damage kills him".

My opponent has 2 attacking lodestone golems.  I am at 8 life, he is at 10.  I have a death's shadow in play to block.  Do I take 5 damage at the same time shadow does, and then shadow becomes a 10/10 before the 5 damage he receives kills him as a 5/5?  If not, I'd lose next turn - if so, I win on the return swing.

Void of first strike, all damage is dealt simultaneously and at one time. Shadow pumps after it has already dealt the damage.

The issue isn't him pumping and dealing damage...it's him blocking a 5/3 as a 5/5 while another 5/3 hits me (with me at 8 life).  The question is if I take 5 and shadow dies as a 5/5, or if I take 5 and shadow takes 5 but becomes a 10/10 before the 5 damage kills it.

Sorry. I was a little vague in my first response. When I said the Shadow pumps, I meant that it will still be alive to see the boost. The reason is because all damage is dealt at the same time, so you go down to 3 and the Shadow has 5 damage marked on it. The next time SBAs are checked, the game will see a 10/10 with 5 damage for the turn.
